The School Fund TZ

I would really like to be a counselor because I would like to advise people about how to avoid diseases caused by poor nutrition. To reach there, I must study everything I need so that I can achieve this position. My most difficult time was when I was in standard five. I used to sell roughages (spinach) with my mother because we had no money to pay school fees and to rent a house. I learnt that no matter how hard it is, I must be patient and fight so that I can achieve great things in life. When I saw my national examination results, I felt that I could do more in the future. The happiest moment in my life was when I joined TSF. I knew that I would be able to study well since I got the support economically and socially. Two years from now, I want to accomplish many things, including selling different snacks like kebabs, using the knowledge I got from food nutrition so that I can earn profit, and use the profit to buy different things for my family. From this, I can get experience on how to conduct a profitable business. Also I want to fight against poor nutrition, starting with my family, so that I can provide knowledge to the people around me.

My mother is dead and I live with my father. He is a small peasant farmer at Nyabura. I study hard in all subjects at home and at school because I want to be a teacher. I want to teach many students so that they too reach their dreams and live a happy life. Thank you to The School Fund for the light you have brought into my life.

Getting support from The School Fund is the happiest moment in my life. Four years ago, my parents could not pay fees for me to study in a private school and I had to join a public school. It was very hard for me to cope in that new environment. Despite all those challenges, I worked hard and passed my grade 7 national examination. My dream is to become a pilot. I will study hard from Form 1 to Form 4 and then go to university. I want to study the following subjects: physics, chemistry, biology, geography and English. I thank The School Fund for helping me to reach my dream of becoming a pilot. I know how difficult it is but I believe that studying without financial stress will lead me there.

The most difficult experience of my life is when my mother died. I have to help out some house chores, but that does not stop me from studying hard. I want to be an eye doctor to help those who suffer eye problems. I will study hard and make sure I pass my exams. I felt proud of myself when I am able to make other people happy. My happiest moment in my life is when I passed my exams and my family were proud of me too. When I fulfill my dream I will build an eye hospital to treat all types of eye problem. I will contribute half of my salary to the School Fund to help more needy children.

The experience that I have had early in my life are sometimes good and always bad. I am the only child in my family. My grandmother is a peasant and my father is a peasant too. My dream is to be a pilot so I want to study hard. I wish my dream will come true.

The happiest moments in my life are when I finished primary school last year and when I became a TSF member. I felt especially proud of myself. The most difficult experience I had was when I lost my grandparents on my mother’s side when I was in standard 7. What I learnt is that all of us as human beings will one day die. And that one who has gone can’t come back to earth, but what you must do is be courageous. In four years to come, I want to have completed my O-level secondary education and join A-level studies. That is the dream of my life and having it helps me to struggle hard.
