I am a form 5 student. Before reaching A-level education, I faced difficult moments especially in school matters. It was hard for my parents to pay my school fees and other expenses. They had to depend on other relatives but they could not provide anything essential to my studies. I reached a time when gave hope but my parents encouraged me a lot. I made more effort and succeeded in joining form 5 at Lugalo Secondary School. If I can become a surgeon, it will help me to have good life and help my family and other people who face health problems but cannot afford payment for treatments. I hope to get there by making more effort in my studies. The moment that I felt proud of myself was in 2016, when I become the overall winner of essay competition in the Dar-es-Salaam region and was given lots of gifts. The happiest moment in my life was when the School Fund chose to sponsor me. I am really happy this moment because I am seeing the light of achieving my goals. Two years from now, I want to have completed my form 6 national examination and be at Muhimbili University or another big university taking the courses I need. I am thankful for this chance. I promise to help others because you helped me to meet my dreams.

My happiest moment is when I study and comprehend the new things. With that knowledge I am able to teach other people so they can understand. My difficult experience is when my father got an accident and broke his left arm and right leg. I was worried and felt very sad. I cried and then I prayed to God. After sometime my father returned and was all well. I learn that God is watching everything I do , I must pray to God first on everything. I plan to build a science college for my community and open an orphanage center too. I plan to donate some of my salary to the School Fund after I fulfill my dreams. So the School Fund has more money to help more children.

In my early life, my challenges included the death of my parents. It was just four month after my birth according to the neighbors. I grew up lonely with my grandmother and she died four years later. This affected my education. I had no one to buy school uniforms for me. But I hope to succeed in my life. I feel confident and have passed different levels of exams. I have done day contract labor so that I can pay for a school fees and continue with my studies. I am grateful that the struggle has brought me to the level I am. The challenge has taught me that life is difficult but always you should struggle because there is a future. Meeting challenges makes someone succeed. My happiest moment is will be when I succeed in reaching my goal. One day I will be help needy people with their problems.

Class Rank: 7/88 Many years ago, my mother was sick and that was the most difficult experience to me. My father didn't have money to take her to see a doctor. But my mother got better miraculously in the Glory of our Lord. From that day I learn to praise and worship my Lord. My dream is to become a doctor so I can treat sick people and my family members. I was especially proud of myself when I am able to comprehend the subjects and pass my exams with good grade. If I fulfill my dream, I will help those poor families as well as women's needs as the way the School Fund helps me. I will continue pray for the School Fund to grow and be able to help more children. The School Fund makes me believe my dream will come true.
