I would like to say I’m glad to have education in Highway Academy. I am so much privileged that I’m learning well and I hope that I’m going to achieve my goal. I want to become a neurosurgeon. I pray to God to help me so that I can achieve my set goal. For now my classes is going on well and most of my classmates are putting in more efforts so that they can also achieve their set goals. For now we are dealing with new topics since we are in a new class and they are very interesting. I have come to like mathematics because it makes me be see and my brain to be at work. Right now we are learning about logarithms. This topic is very easy and I have just come to like it. I personally, I would like to thank my friends in US who have actually sacrificed themselves for me. I also like to invite them here in Kenya because I miss them greatly.

My name is JackPeter Wanyama. I am a 17yrs old boy. I am in form 3 class and a hardworking boy. I would like to appreciate the efforts that my sponsers are doing.
For sure they have really helped me to pay school fees since my parents were unable. At my home we are ten children and I am the eldest. I have passed many hardships in life. Getting even 50 shilings a day to my father is a problem since he is disabled. He got an accident and broke his leg.
I am working very hard in school so that in future I can be great man. I believe in God that I shall change the life style of my family.
Oh! I thank the almighty God for bringing sponsors to me since I would have dropped out of school due to lack of school fees.
I am proud and glad to have you in my life and I believe that my dream of becoming a doctor shall come to be true one day one time.

Congratulations Jakapeter! That's exciting to hear that you were the best in your class. It's cool to hear that you still want to do better too. I think you can! Do you want to be a scientist when you graduate?

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. I hope you get better soon!

    Experiences in my life are when I failed my examination during primary education and also when my parents failed to pay food for me. My difficult experiences in my life are when my parents have insufficient enough money to pay for all my basic needs at school such as food and other school contributions. The thing that makes me feel so proud of myself is when I succeeded in joining O-level education. This makes me feel that I will, I must, I can do everything. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life will be to reach my dream of being a doctor general so as I can help other people in society. My future dream is to be a GOOD surgical doctor. After me reaching my dream, I will give back help to my society and family, but also to WEF. I need to work hard upon reaching my dream in my life. Once I get chance to have power of changing anything in country, I will improve the education system by converting science subjects from theory to practical. In most of our schools, they teach science subjects mostly theoretically. I will start from there because as we know education is the key to every success in our people.

    Notable experiences in my life are, first, passing my standard seven examination and, second, entering secondary school. My most difficult experience was when I started to learn English. I have learned that if you want to do something, you have to work hard. I felt proud was when I entered secondary school. My most memorable and happiest thoughts are from when I celebrated at my birthday party. My dream is to be an electrical engineer. I will get there through studying hard and doing well in science subjects. If I had the power to change my country, I would like to improve the electricity supply especially in rural areas because there are shortages of electric power.

    The experience that I had early in life was to score good marks in my class, whereby I got good grades which encouraged me to study hard in class. The difficult experience that occurred in my life was an accident on my way back home. I learnt that I should not play again in bad areas. In my life I am proud of myself. I was getting low marks in class but now I have managed to improve a lot. The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is to play football. It exercises my body regularly and hence strengthens my body system. My dream is to become a mechanical engineer. The best way to reach it is through studying hard in school, in physics, mathematics and chemistry. If I had power in my country, I would change the education system of the country so that it helps graduates to depend more on self-employment.
