I came in this school in 2015 in term three. I joined form two. In the following year I went to form three but because I was not stable in subjects. I decided to repeat in form two.

My life in Highway is good. Since I joined Highway my life has been transformed because from Mahanga, my former school, the life was hard. I rarely went to school due to lack of school fees which affected my performance at large. I am looking forward to success because Highway is a good school. Teachers are devoted to their work unlike in public where realized less supervision and time management. I would l Besides l like to appreciate the Wema Community for supporting me, the school management for its support.

Besides learning opportunity that I have been granted, there is some challenges which is affecting me at large.

Sometimes life may become so hard especially when I lack pocket money. Sometimes I normally feel ashamed because of the insults from some of the students who call me a parasite. However, I trust in myself and I promise am going to pass the exam by God’s grace.

Otherwise I have good relationship with teachers and I think there is no teacher that we are in disagreement.

I am looking forward to be a doctor or take the course that deals with agriculture in future; agriculture, engineering or teaching.
