HAPPY EASTER FRIENDS.
Hi Alsam,
Glad to hear you have done very well at school this year, and look forward to taking your national exams in 2016. There are many kinds of engineering, and I am sure you will pick the one that is best for you and your country's needs. When you like your school subjects it's easy to learn. Don't be afraid to ask questions. That is a good way to learn too. Barbara
Dear Connor,
Special thanks to you and your team. Am happy to inform you that I have performed very well. And am sure of joining one of the best University once I do my national exams in 2016. May God bless you.
Alsam.
Hi Barbara and Moe,
Thanks Alot.
Hi Alsam- I work at a university in Qatar and meet many students who are becoming engineers. They are some of the smartest, most caring and hardworking individuals I know, and I trust that you too will soon be a leader like them (if not more so!)

Your friend,
Moe Fakhro
My husband was a civil engineer. He helped to design bridges, and dams. Keep your integrity.
We are in Mid Term break. I have gone back to my former school to give encouragement to 2014 candidates. I hope they will do better than I. I take this early opportunity to wish all candidates success.

Hi Hope all of you are going on well. Whats the Education system in Tanzania. Is it the same as ours in Kenya? I heard that all the subjects are taught in Kiswahili is this true?
Hello my passion of being an Engineer started long time when I was still young in Grade 5 when I first saw a Maize milling machine being repaired and I was more encouraged when the Chinese Company started constructing A bridge connecting Rusinga Island and Mbita Town. And from then the dream and passion of being an Engineer for Designing bridges grew.

    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.

    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.
