Velma lives with her 7 siblings and unemployed parents. She enjoys math and science and she would like to become a doctor.

During my standard seven national examinations, I had an eye illness. From this I learned that your health has to be checked regularly. This moment is the one which inspired me to become an optician. I have to study very hard so as I can reach my dream of becoming an optician. The happiest moment when I felt proud of myself was when I scored division one of point seven and I took position number one in the class. The memorable moment was when I visited Manyara National Park through the sponsorship of my teacher. After I reach my dream, I will pay back my community by giving them education about how eye defects are caused and how to prevent them. I will help WEF by volunteering in several activities concerning the World Education Fund. When I have power to change in my country, I would like to change the system of education from much theory to more practice.

My hobbies are reading, going for picnics, and playing with my friends at home and in school. I also like participating in school activities, especially sports as I am very active. When I grow up I would like to become a journalist and go to many places to learn different things.

The experience that I remember from early in my life is passing my standard four examination and entering standard five. It made me happy because it is the way to my dream. The most difficult experience in my life has been my eye problems since I was in standard seven. I had to tolerate the situation and I learnt that I cannot give up. I was proud of myself when I went to Arusha town to visit a museum. It was an old cultural building which is specially used to keep our history. The most memorable and the happiest moment in my life was when I celebrated my graduation from standard seven. My dream to be a doctor, so I must study hard and perform well in science subjects. After reaching my dream, I will provide education to society on how to control diseases and I will help elderly people. If I had the power, I would improve medical centers so that people can get services in our society.

The best experience in my life was the first day I passed my examination in standard four and entered standard five in primary school. My most difficult experience was the day when I was crossing the road and got into an accident. My hand was broken. There was not enough money to take me to the hospital. It was also a hard time to go to school because my parents had little income. I learned that if you are using the road, you are supposed to follow the road signs I felt proud of myself when my school team won the match against our fellow school. The happiest and most memorable day in my life was when I celebrated my birthday in 2014. My dream is to be a dentist because there are people who suffer from teeth. I am going to study hard and perform well in science subjects. I will help my community and WEF by providing health care, and by taking care of disabled people by giving them food, shelter, and education. I will help WEF by making sure that a new generation of students will join. If I could change my community, I would improve the quality of medicine.

In my life, the difficult challenge was when my parents could not manage to let me go to school for 6 months. Then my parents started farming and hence got some money that supported my education. I learnt that patience pays when it is difficult. The moment that makes me proud is that I have been healthy until now and I am grateful. My dream is to become a dentist. In order to reach it, I study science subjects very hard for the purpose of achieving my dream. After fulfilling my dream, I will visit my community and the WEF family to thank them and provide things that I can.
