About

Nasiru writes: My father and mother are both peasant farmers who cultivate cassava and maize in domestic quantities to help feed and pay for some stuff for the family. Because the farming alone is not enough to support the family, my mother cooks and sells a local food called Wakye to help take care of things in the family. However the farming and selling of Wakye have not been a reliable source of funding the education of my siblings and I. My big brother had to drop out of school for a year because my parents could not pay his school fees. When they finally struggled to get the fees for him to go back to school, he was repeated whiles his mates were promoted to the next grade. The possibility of me dropping out of school is very high because of my family's financial status. I don't want to drop out of school, so please help me to go to school to the university level to be able to become the teacher and footballer that I want to become, so I can help other poor people like me."

Hi Nasiru! I am so happy that i have given the project the final amount you need to go to school! I found this project through Jack and Finn Harries. I was surprised to know that your schooling isn't funded like it is where I live in the United States. I can not imagine what it would be like to not have the opportunity to receive an education. Although I do not know you, I am so proud of you for wanting more for yourself! Every one deserves a fair chance to succeed, and it is terrible that only a small percentage of those people get the chance they deserve. You should be proud of yourself for working hard to do what you love! I saw in your profile that you enjoy playing soccer(football). Soccer is not as big in America as it is in other countries, but I love watching it. All the players move with amazing precision and grace. How long have you been playing? I also found it interesting that you wanted to teach because I have always wanted to teach people too. I also enjoy writing and hope to become an author. I don't play sports very seriously like you do, but I do play for my high school field hockey team and I love the game. A little more about me is that I am a girl going into 10th grade at a private high school and I love traveling and exploring. Okay, I guess I should end this now:) Congratulations on making it this far and I hope you have great success in your future!!

Sincerely,
Tyler Crews

    I have experience planting vegetables because my parents do that. Also, we have a garden at our home. Therefore, that is experience I have had in life. Apart from that experience, I also had a difficult experience when I failed my geography exam. That enabled me to learn how to cooperate with other students. I was so proud of myself when I performed well in my national exam. The memorable and happiest moment in my life will be when I reach my dream of being pilot. I will be so happy. My biggest dream is to be a pilot. I will get there through studying hard in physics, geography, and mathematics. After reaching my dream, I will help my parents to modify their cultivation system and to become professional farmers. From there they can expand the area of cultivation into a large plantation. Once I get a chance to have the power to change my country, I will build many airports in each region and some districts. This will help in the flexibility of transportation in my country.

    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.
