About

My parents separated a long time ago and I have not seen either of them for two years now. I live with my grandparents and with my brother and sister. My grandfather owns one donkey and one cow, so we do not have very much money. My grandfather is also sick so my grandmother has a temporary job and this is where we get all of our money. Sometimes we have a hard time getting by on just that money. I finished primary school and I knew that I liked mathematics and history the best. I also like playing sports like netball.

Dear Lovely Jennifer,

I so liked your poem. i can tell you are strong like a lion and I think you are also fast like a lion too.
I live in Oklahoma in the United States (which is near Texas). My three children are all grown but they each liked to run. Their running teacher told them to imagine they were running on the savannah of Africa. They became strong and fast runners like you.

What do you cook for dinner at night? We often eat pasta with tomatoes or soup in the wintertime.

I am named for my mother and grandmother. What is your grandmother's name?

Have a special day, lovely Jennifer

Hello Everyone,

How are you? I am very excited to write this note to you. I am just greeting all of you, hello! We are busy practicing track and field events. I did the shot put for the first time and the javelin too. Now we also have new students at school. They started their pre-form one classes to learn English last week.

Have a good day, your lovely Jennifer

Hello,

It is me, Jennifer. I am a student of Orkeeswa Secondary School. I am fourteen years old. I would like to tell you about my family. There are four people in my family. My mother, father, two young brothers and me. But I am not living with my parents. I live with my grandmother. On the weekends, I help my grandmother to fetch water, sweep the house, to wash dishes and to wash clothes. My favorite subjects are Chemistry, English, Biology, History and Geography. The after school activity which I like is writing. My favorite sports are netball, basketball and kick ball.

Today I enjoyed school because I like to do mathematics and we studied that subject alot today.

Thank you, Jennifer

    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.
