I live under the care of my elder brother who works at a local supermarket. He took the responsibility and dropped his academic ambitions after the passing of my mother. One of my brothers is also attending a local university and that inspires me a lot. My brother cannot sustain my learning at my current school and this might diminish my ambitions of getting a college degree some day.

I grew up in a peaceful and loving family despite the humble foundations. It has not been so comfortable but we are always optimistic of a better tomorrow. I admire our president because he is hardworking. I hope to become a lawyer so that I can serve my country in bringing justice in the society.

I am the fourth born ina family of five children. My parents engage in peasant farming to provide for our family. This is only for use at home and the little that we sell can not afford to pay our education. I want to be a surgeon in future and help those who can not afford expensive surgeries. i am a good poet and i practice a lot. It has improved my English a lot.

I am the last born of six children and lives under the care of my uncle and aunt. My mother passed away a while back and my father became mentally ill and disappeared. All my elder siblings never stepped into a secondary school and have since relied either on their spouses or doing menial jobs to survive. I want a better life for myself and education will be the best avenue. In school, I love social studies and hope to be a social scientist in future.
