I am Florence Juma, a student at Highway Academy High School. I want to thank the Wema fraternity at large for the support during my study time in Highway.

I am currently in form three striving to achieve my success at the end of my form four. I’m a class prefect which is providing me with leadership skill which I do believe will help me achieve my dream of becoming a lawyer.

During my free time, I prefer using the library where I read novels which improves my language skills and my speech. All in all, I thank the school Administration for the continued support they have given me.

    Fiona

    Kenya

    Fiona is the last born in a family of three. She lives with both her parents who are casual labourers. Her mother had a major surgery on her left hand in 2020. This made them sell part of their property to take care of the medical bills and thus reducing their income significantly and again making it very difficult for them to take care of the education bills of their children. Fiona drew her inspiration to pursue success from her Math teacher and she aspires to be a civil engineer to make contributions in the development of infrastructure in her village.
