I am in my last year of high school at Highway Academy, I will be sitting for my national examination in November this year. I have studied had during my four years of high school and am proud of Highway for shaping me into the person I am today.

Lots if thanks to the WEMA Community for helping me pursue my dreams. I would like to take a Bachelors of Commerce at University level and proceed to become a banker. This will then empower me to support children like me who come from a poor background.

I hope to come back to Highway to teach after High School as a show of gratitude for the good this school and WEMA has done in my life.

The journey has been long and I have still got a long way to go, your support has been a great relief and for this I say thank you. Am putting all my time and effort into my studies, I trust that I’ll make you proud when my results are out.

Thank you.

Dear Quelington,
How was your year of school? Mine was busy and hectic with homework and sports. I saw that you want to be a computer engineer. I do not know what I want to be yet but I dream of one day coaching sports. I attached a picture of me in my football uniform. I hope you have a great school year!
Love,
Joe
