My experiences this year have been fairly good. The start of classes was similar to last year - online education, which is rather monotonous and boring, The ray of light though was the announcement that we would go back to face-to-face teaching from November. This is much better and makes it easier to understand the different topics. Now we are back at school, I hope this will be a good year.

I am now following technical courses and have had to study additional subjects such as accountancy. This was quite problematic as lessons are still online and the teacher was often absent. I have tried to overcome these problems though and I managed to get a good mark overall this term.

    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.
