About

Sheila is the second born in a family of three. A very outgoing girl who takes any challenge that comes her way with confidence. She lives in Kibera slums with her family. With both her parents depending on menial jobs to make ends meet, funding her education is stretching her parents' income to the extreme. Having financial assistance to complete her studies will ease of the pressure from her and give her ample time to concentrate on her studies and continue working towards becoming a top lawyer.

I am not quite sure in which field I would love to work in but I prefer to work as a lawyer who advocates for women rights.This reason being where I live most women go through so much,it seems as if many have turned a blind eye to whats happening to them.Do you also love writing?I adore and love writing,I also love reading books

Hey Sheila,
I'm glad school has been so great for you these past few months! That's great that you were able to meet the targets you set. I plan to go back to school in the fall so I'm excited for that as well. That's great that you want to be a lawyer. Do you know that Christi is going to be a lawyer? She works for The School Fund and has visited Children of Kibera several times. She's very excited about it. Do you know what you want to do as a lawyer?

I am excited to write since school has been great over the past few months. I worked hard and was able to meet most of the targets I had set. Although the recently held general elections brought along a nationwide anxiety that disrupted learning in most schools, I was able to put in more effort.
I am currently in school for holiday tuition and will engaging in community thereafter in one of the local dispensaries. I am very much anxious for this experience.

Thanks everyone and please accept my apologies for not writing this long. I will share with you one of my poems but first let me just inform you that I had a wonderful term in school. I joined the Debate and Journalism Clubs and they have really helped me improve in my writing and speaking skills.I do hope you enjoy this poem;

I beg for your mercy
please hear my cry
you turn away in shame
i ask for a coin or two
I get 'a useless fool'
someone tell me the difference
between suits and tatters

    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.
