About

This life is all about fighting, I face challenges based on economic difficulties. The worst was when I was form 1 and had leave class because of school fees and expenses. I sometimes worked as a watchman to make sure I earned money for school needs. I experienced that nothing happens until you do something. It is likewise for most people who find themselves in difficulties due to the poor layout of their life. I want the world to know my great ambition. My daily dream is that I was born to become a doctor. Through working hard and studying hard, I will face difficulties in my future. Actually I believe that I have something to tell the world and I was born to make world history. The happiest moments in my life are when I find myself on the right track toward my dreams. It’s my expectation that after two years I will be at university.

Hello Jenny. How are you. For sure I am quite good and i am on the way home for vocational break.please read with me the following Earth as a Planetary Body
Earth is an inner planet in the solar system and it is very much like the other inner planets, at least in its size, shape,
and composition. But many features make Earth very different from the planets and any other planet that we know
of so far.
Earth’s Shape
Earth is a sphere or, more correctly, an oblate spheroid, which is a sphere that is a bit squished down at the poles and
bulges a bit at the equator. Or to be more technical, the minor axis (the diameter through the poles) is smaller than
the major axis (the diameter through the equator). Half of the sphere is a hemisphere. North of the equator is the
northern hemisphere and south of the equator is the southern hemisphere. Eastern and western hemispheres are also
designated.
What evidence is there that Earth is spherical? What evidence was there before spaceships and satellites?
Try to design an experiment involving a ship and the ocean to show Earth is round. If you are standing on the shore
and a ship is going out to sea, the ship gets smaller as it moves further away from you but the ship’s bottom also
starts to disappear as the vessel goes around the arc of the planet There are many other ways that
early scientists and mariners knew that Earth was not flat.
Earth’s curvature is noticeable when objects
at a distance are below the arc.
Even the ancient Greeks knew that Earth was round by observing the arc shape of the shadow on the Moon during
a lunar eclipse. NASA has an animation of a lunar eclipse here:
The Sun and the other planets of the solar system are also spherical. Larger satellites, those that have enough mass
for their gravitational attraction to have made them round, are as well.
Earth’s Magnetism
Earth has a magnetic field that behaves as if the planet had a gigantic bar magnet inside of it. Earth’s
magnetic field also has a north and south pole and a magnetic field that surrounds it. The magnetic field arises from
the convection of molten iron and nickel metal in Earth’s outer liquid iron core.
Earth’s magnetic field extends several thousand kilometers into space. The magnetic field shields the planet from
harmful radiation from the Sun

Hello Jenny.Hope that you have been doing well since we left one another.
All te time in my studies I experienced a couple amazing and fantastic things especially on my studies. Actually I came to realize that everything that human being doing is originated from All Mighty God,the sole creator of universe.
The reason as to why I say so is, in Biology I have gone through the topic Co-ordination, there I learn t how different organs in the body links together,hence they successful enable a man to work and perform his activities perfectly,take an example of the car that,it has a engine which act as a brain in human,tank as a stomach in human,fuel as food in human being, tyres as fore and hind limbs in a human,light as eyes in human being a few to Mention.
It is true that GOD has much in human and that is why every day the scientists discovers a new thing , This means God did not make a plane,ship,phones,computers a few to mention but he created a human being with all this in him,due that, my self I need to die empty ,you may ask why and how,The answer is simple like this,I BELIEVE that God has invested much on me,and I have a very unique potential that one day the world will know that Tumaini was born for a purpose.
You may some time walk along the steet and find people says,every thing you think it has been spoken before or inovated,but not realy,through Biology you learn about blood and its composition, no body has ever discovered the artificial blood,This is my Idea that I may one day do and make it.
Thank you for being behind me.

    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.
