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

    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.
