Hello donors,
How are you? I am very fine and I hope you are too. It is my first time to write to you and I am very excited about it. I joined a very good secondary school which is helping me to achieve my goals. Teachers in my new school are very friendly and they teach us very well to understanding.
Life was not easy for the first weeks because I did not have friends in the new school and I was also not familiar with the new environment. I would actually get lost almost every time I went for bathroom breaks, but as weeks went by, I got used to the new environment and I mastered my class and my dorm.
I take 12 subjects unlike in primary school where I took 6 subjects. They are not hard except for Computer studies which I find it a bit challenging because I had never learnt about it until I joined secondary school. My best subject is history because it helps me appreciate the changes we have had in our culture as well as living standards.
we wake up at 4:00 am for our morning preps which is earlier than the time I used to wake up when I was in primary school. I have adapted to this wake up time.
I have improved in my academics and I am still working hard to achieve more.
My gratitude goes out to you for donating towards my school fees. i have been able to stay in school and read smoothly. May you be blessed and increased.
Have a nice time ahead.
