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.

Class Rank: 1/55 The most difficult experience of my life was when my parent had no work. My father struggled very much, but he still found money for me to get education. What I learned from that moment was that I had to study hard, get good education, so that I can help my family get out of poverty in the future. My dream job is to be an accountant working for a bank. I will study hard to accomplish my dream. When I reach my dream I want to help more students like me to reach their dream.

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.

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.

Class Rank: 1/29 My dream is that I want to be an engineer. When I become an engineer, I can build more hospital for the sick people and more schools for the students. The most difficult experience I had is when my mom died. I learned that no one can live in this world forever. And also learned I should not depend the wealth of my parent because is not mine. The moment I feel proud is when my father told me that he will try with his best ability to pay my school fees because I did well in school. I will also help the School Fund build more buildings so it can help more children to get educated.

Class Rank: 2/55 My goal is to become a pilot. What I have learned from my own experience is that if our parents have little education, it is hard for them to support their children to fulfill their dream. So when I started my studies, I did very good to make sure I passed all the exams. The most difficult experience I had in my life is my father left my mother and I when I was very young. But my mother works hard to send me to school. I want to thank TSF for supporting me while I work to reach my goal.

I want to grow up to be a Heart Doctor because there are so many people I know suffer with heart problem. My happiest moment in my life is also the moment I felt so proud of myself. That is when I passed my national exams with the highest in the class. After I become a doctor, I will come back to my community and help those less fortunate people. I also plan to help the School Fund with portion of my salary.

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.
