About

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.

Hello Barbara C.,
Am so glad that my dreams of clearing high school are almost coming true. Thank you for the support. We are doing our final lap this year and you can imagine how much this means to me. I will give it my best and I will make you proud. Thank you so much.

Hey Ivan,
Of course I do like pancakes. However, we rarely make them. We prefer "chapati", a delicacy that originally emanated from India. Even the name sounds Indian.
I am glad to hear that you are in the school play. I am in my last year in high school and am making all the preparations necessary to help me pass my exams which are coming in October. This exam will determine the course I will pursue at the university For this reason, I have suspended all my involvement in extra-curricular activities. Keep up the good work you are doing in the drama and I wish you the best of luck..... and congratulations for the effort you made in Biology. Schools are closing soon and I hope to have a wonderful break in April. I will update you on how things will be.

    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.
