About

I have never liked sharing about my life history because it looks so pathetic, my mom and dad are both dead. I was born out of wedlock then my mom got married to another man who infected her with Hiv and died four years ago leaving behind four other young children. The man then died, then two years ago my real father also was involved in an accident and died. I and my younger siblings we live with our old grandmother. Life is really difficult for us, anyway God knows. Please help me through my education so that I can get a better job to save this situation.

Kevin,

I'm very sorry you've had a rough life history, but you can be an overcomer in your own way! I'm really proud of you for being involved in school and church. I'll look forward to reading the stories you write someday :-)

Hi Kevin,

My name is Jaclyn, and I am a student at Brown University who works with the School Fund. I hope your classes are going well this year. What are some of your favorite subjects? I like to study politics and sociology in college. I noticed from your profile that you would like to be a journalist. That's an awesome goal to have! I also love to write.

Feel free to write me back on your journal!

Best,
Jaclyn

    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.
