My class rank is 6 out of 42 students. I am fourth born in my family of five children. My father is a driver and my mother is a nurse. They both receive a meager wage to pay for my siblings' school fees and mine too. My dream is to become a doctor in future life, a dream which to be realised depends among other factors on payment of school fees and favourable learning environments. I believe after attaining my career, I will be in a position to afford life and help others who will be in need.

Michael is the first born in a family of three. His sterling performance in Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) earned him a spot at a top boy's provincial school in Nairobi county. High school education being very expensive in Kenya, his father, the sole bread winner of the house finds it very hard to make ends meet since the second born child is also in a top girls provincial school, at times, he says that he might end up only supporting one of the two trough high school. Supporting Michael will definitely keep his sister too in school.

My name is Amani. The most difficult experience I had in early life was poverty. From poverty I learned that education is the only instrument that can eradicate it. My dream for my life is to become a doctor and I will get there through obedience to teachers and working with teachers and students who have experience in science subjects and studying hard. I will make sure that improvement in my studies takes first position. I will work with other students and share ideas with them. I want to reach my goal in science subjects. I felt especially proud of myself when I passed the Form 4 National examinations. The happiest moment of my life would be to succeed in my studies. What I want to accomplish over four years is to have my school fees paid and to keep studying hard so as to reach my goal.
