I began this school year with virtual lessons - no change from last year - but after two months we were allowed to return to the classroom if we wanted. I decided to do this, because of the stress of online lessons. The amount of work I have to do has increased, and the method of learning is quite different from studying at home. It's much easier to concentrate though, and all in all I much prefer being at school. I'm happy to have returned, especially as this is my last year at school.

This year has been less difficult than last year as I've got used to the new way of learning from home. Even so, the process of learning is more difficult than when we had face-to-face classes because the teaching time is reduced and the number of distractions at home has increased. I've managed to keep my overall average about 8 and to learn as much as I possibly can as next year I have to prepare for university and I really want to do well. After all, it's not so difficult....

    I wish all my dreams come true even though it is had to reach them. One of my dreams is to help other people who need special help, especially orphans and those whose lives are hard and poor. I also wish to help other girls who face problems that make them to fail reach their dreams. The most difficult experience in my early life was when my father and my mother divorced. It was hard for me to decide which one I should live with, my mother or my father. I did not know what was the right way. The situation made my performance at school drop. Then my dad took me and my siblings and he tried his best to provide good care for us and ensure that we got education. When I was selected for secondary school in Morogoro, my father didn’t have enough money for my school expenses. He talked with the headmistress so I could stay at school while he raised the money. The headmistress was very understanding. I completed my O-level education there and now I am in A-levels at Iringa Girls Secondary School. I am proud of myself when I do something that is appreciated by people and when I make someone happy.

    Anmol writes: "My name is Anmol Ghising. I am 14 years old. I live in New Youth Children Development Society. It is a social organization which provides us basic needs. I am here since I was 7 years old. When I came here, I was a small child. I only know a little bit about my parents. My mother died when I was 6 years old and my father got another marriage. After that he left me and one of my uncles took me here. Since he left me here, no one came to see me. I still don't know where he is. Either he is alive or died. I am a very poor boy. I hope you will help me."
