The most difficult experience I had was when my eyes started hurting during standard seven national exams. What I learnt from this is that problems may arise any time and they are part of life. I felt proud of myself when I was in the first position in previous terminal exam. My happiest moment was when I visited Lake Manyara National Park. I really enjoyed the tour. My dream is to be dermatologist; to reach my dream I'll have to study hard science subjects. In the future, I want to make sure that my family has good health. I will serve in community hospitals and I will inspire WEF students to be like me. If I could change my country, I would introduce health insurance for every citizen.

My name is Nasra Mohamed Aden. I'm in 10th grade. I'm from Burao, Somaliland. I'm the third oldest of 10 siblings. My favorite subject is Computer science. I like computer science since it is more about programming and creating websites. Besides that, I love playing all kinds of sports including basketball and football. I like to read in my free time and join different clubs to explore different areas of activities. Likewise, I also spend some time with my friends during afternoons. Moreover, I want to be a software engineer in the future because it is more interesting and has more income as well.

Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.
