Hi Peter,
Wow! Congratulations on your good score in science! That is amazing! What do you like about studying science? When I was in university I studied earth science, so I learned about how animals interact with the land and how mountains are made. Did you know that the mountains in Nepal grown almost one inch per year? I thought that was amazing when I learned it!

Good luck during games day! What games do you play? I hope you do well!

All the best,
Christi

How are you? I hope you are all fine. The reason of writing this letter is to tell you that our school is going on well. My best subject is science. I like science because when I grow up I want to be a scientist. This time, when I came for holiday, I got 90%.

Our school is still going on well and we are still doing very well. I promise you that I will work hard to get 400 marks in my class. I would like to thank you for everything you have done for me.

May God bless you and protect you. The last thing that I would like to tell you is that in the second term we are having games days so I have to do a lot of practice.

Thank you.
From,

To the School Fund,

Hi, how are you? I hope you are very fine. Thank you for sponsoring me. I am doing very well and having fun. We are doing very well in school and trying to be at the top. I am going into grade six next year.

The most fun thing I will do this holiday is help our matrons and enjoy. The most fun trip I have ever gone on is to Mombasa. The best part was when I swam in the Indian Ocean.

My favorite part about celebrating Christmas is when I open my presents and have fun. I will thank God. I am happy because I will get to celebrate with my brothers and sisters, volunteers and matrons.

May God bless you.

Love,
Peter Mbugua

    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.
