About

Susan is the second-born child in a family of three. Her eldest brother is in high school. Two years back her mother was diagnosed with a heart disease that has taken toll on their meagre earnings. Their father is a casual construction worker and everything he earns goes to treating their ailing mother. Her elder brother has been out of school due to huge fees balance. Despite the family challenges, Susan has kept her dream alive. She has constantly worked hard in school and her dream is to become a doctor so as to help people like her mother. She believes in Nelson Mandela's quote that education is the greatest weapon that one can use to change the world.

Dear Susan--

Congratulations! I am thrilled that you passed your exams and will be joining university. That is wonderful news. I know that you have worked hard throughout secondary school.

What will you be studying in University? Will you be doing an internship with Kenya Connect?

My holidays were wonderful. My children came home from University and work so it was very special. I went to the state of Vermont and I even got to ski a little bit.

Congratulations. I am very happy to hear from you.
