Dear Melanie,

Hi, how have you been and how is your family? As for me I am doing great and I have been very happy ever since my moms came to visit me here in Zambia.
Mom Maureen and Mama Sabrina have come for a visit at Chikumbuso and right now they are working very hard in the library. This visit for me is a dream come true because I was always looking forward to this amazing and fantastic visit from my lovely moms. Before I go any further I would like to inform you that last week I got my end of term results and I came out to be in the first position. I did very well last term because I passed all the subjects. I would also like to tell you that Mom Maureen is now my story publisher and she published my first story entitled The Royal Kingdom and it came out so amazing and interesting. I couldn’t believe myself to have written such a wonderful story.

I have come up with another story and very soon I will write it down and I hope when it comes out you will love it. Thank you for the support, love, and care you have offered me and I will be more than grateful if you would come to Zambia and visit Chikumbuso.

Thank you.

Yours,
Patson

Hi Patson! Only a few weeks until Sabrina and I arrive in Lusaka! I can't wait to get there and see you, Natasha, Morgan, Marjory, Anderson, and all the ladies. And I look forward to spending time with you and hearing about your studies and your new story ideas. I'm bringing you some books, both fantasy, and Young Adult, that I think you'll like. See you soon!

    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.
