Hello All. I want to be an Engineer. This started far back when I was still in Primary school in Grade 7. What motivated me towards being an Engineer in future is when the motor boat we were traveling in failed when we were still in the waters of L.Victoria. So my drive towards being a "doctor" of Engines started. I was self convince that the Engine failed because there were no Engineers to repair or service it in Rusinga Island.

I hope that you are doing well. I joined form two this year. I did my opening exam but the results are not yet out.Hope I will get good grades because I revised a lot during 2013December Holidays. I am working hard to attain a good grade in all my exams.
Then I would like to thank you for paying and promising to pay my school fees. Remember whatever has a good impact on my life,my family and the community.
Samwel informed us about the journals but in my school we dont have internet. But now am at home for half term break. And Mr. Samwel has guided me to write this journal.May God bless you all.
