In 2014 my mother died when I was in class 6 in primary school. From that moment on, I learned how difficult life is without parents. My grandmother takes care of me. I thought my dream of being a doctor could not be accomplished. Even though secondary school is free, there are so many school needs like transport and textbooks. My grandmother cannot afford them. I am very lucky now because of The School Fund's help. What I want to say to you is that I promise to study hard and I will be happy if I fulfill my dream. I say thank you for giving me this chance.

JOIN HEREClass Rank: 2/57 During a bad moment, I decided to always study hard so I can reach my goal becoming an accountant. What I learned from that hard moment was that I have to pay respects to my parent, because no matter what hardship she experiences herself, she makes sure I get good education so I can have a better and easier life. When my parents separated and my Father left because of a family misunderstanding, I lived with my mother. During that time my mother had no job but even though she struggled, she still made sure that I went to school and got good education.

My life has been difficult since my mother died in 2013 and I was left with my siblings. My father has been gone since I was very young and he does not care for us. There was no one who could pay for our school requirement. I thank my sibling who tried a lot in order for me to attend Form 1. It is through her kindness that I was able to do so. My dream is to become a doctor and I will get there through studying hard. I thank the School Fund for the scholarship.

My mother was sick when I was very young. My father had left for Arusha. It was sad because I thought my mother would die. I am thankful that my mother's friends came to help her. I learned from this situation that it is bad when a father abandons his wife and children. My dream is to become a doctor. It can be achieved only through education. I will study hard. My happiest moment will be when I succeed and have a good life.

The most difficult experience in my life happened when I was selected to join my secondary school. I lacked money for school needs and I could not be at school when it started. Finally my parents got some money and the school allowed me to attend. My dream is to become a doctor. In order to make my dream come true, I will study hard and cooperate with my teachers and fellow students. I felt especially proud of myself when I passed the examination. It was a happy day when I was chosen by The School Fund, not only for myself but also for my family because we all share the problem. I want to help the community by supporting people, especially students who have no money for their school needs.

I want to be a doctor because I want to save people's lives and treat them so they will feel well. Also I will help my family and relatives. If I am a doctor, I can be a big help to my society. I will advise them to clean the environment which surrounds them and to avoid sharing sharp objects that may lead to the spread of diseases like AIDS, which we can avoid. I am thankful for everything and I promise to do all that I can to reach my dream.

Class Rank: 5/57 I want to become a pilot. I have learned a lot from the most difficult experience I had in my life when my mother left us and went to live with her mother. My sister and I were too young and not able to cook. Our life was difficult because no one cooked food. I felt very bad because I was not able to help, Father was the only one could cook, but he already so much work to do. I learned that it is difficult to live a good life if you don't have enough. I want to make sure to work hard to study and help myself, my family and others.
