About

Class Rank: 7/65 The happiest moment of my life was when I started Form 1 and got good grades. The most difficult time for me was when I was busy helping my mother selling vegetables, I had very little time to do my study. My dream is to become a doctor, I will continue study hard to get there. I was very proud of myself when I passed my last primary level exam. I believe 4 years from now I will pass my last secondary level exam and proceed to higher advanced education.

Hi Students!

I just read all the journal entries I have received since October. Such wonderful letters! I am so impressed by how mature and articulate you have become. I’m realizing that I have now been reading some of your journals for 5 years. When I look at your photos, I don’t recognize the child I first knew. You are teenagers now.
I especially love the stories that some of you told in your journals. Moral tales, I call them.

So congratulations for working so hard. I’m hoping you will achieve your goals, go to a university if you want, and become productive members of your community, and able to help others as you have been helped.

I am enjoying retirement. My age of 76 is bringing on a bit of health problems, like arthritis, but I keep active physically and don’t let it stop me from doing what I love to do.

I read a lot. I travel. I go to jazz concerts in San Francisco. I would love to return to Kenya and Tanzania for a visit. I’d love to visit your school. Maybe it will happen. Who knows?

So keep up the great efforts. I know it can’t be easy, but this is such a wonderful opportunity.

Very fondly, Susan
Praise Walter

Also in my holiday I will use a more time to study hard so as in my national examination to get good grade in order to reach my goal.
