I've very nearly graduated from high school. I can't say that it has been easy. I missed two months of school earlier this year so I had to do lots of extra work to catch up, but I made an effort and did this - and in one month's time I'll graduate! Thanks to everyone for all your support.
Hello. I’m in my final year of secondary school and am happy because I’m going to graduate this year. I think education is very important because it helps us get a good job and salary and helps us improve our lives economically. I really think this has been one of the most difficult years for students. We’ve had to adapt to the new way, which amounts to self-education, and which isn’t as demanding as face-to-face lessons. Thank you for your support.

    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.
