I am 17 years old. I study at Highway Academy’s high school and am in Form 2. I study eleven subjects but my best are math, chemistry and kiswahili. All the concepts that my teachers teach me are interesting and I enjoy them. I study hard to achieve my goal of being a lecturer especially a mathematical lecturer. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies and reading novels. What about yours? Tell me more about you and your country. Which grade are you in or are you done with your education? It will be great when I hear from you. I am anticipating your reply. Bye! Bye!

Hi Beth, my name is Victoria and I am a teacher with 3 amazing children and one little grandson who is now one year old. All of my kids have gone to college and so far two have earned Masters Degrees. I earned my honorary degree through my work, research and published material. I grew up without any money or support to succeed. And my father was an alcoholic and did not take care of me or 4 brothers and sisters. I know how hard it can be sometimes to believe in yourself, and I want you to know that I believe in you and that you truly can accomplish anything you really want. Remember that you have a gift inside of you and someday you will find a way to show it to the world. My family and I wish all great things for you and we send you our love.
We all want to know what you love about school, do you have a best friend and what you love doing for fun? And what is your favorite color? We love blue like the color of the ocean near where we live in California USA.
Your new friends, Victoria, Gordon, Kris, Kera, Britt, Anya and grandson Landon. All the kids are in the photo!

My K.C.P.E. Exams were so interesting that I passed highly with three hundred and eighty three. Life at Wema is so good and has helped us much. I am done with my primary school and I am looking forward to joining the secondary school. I love you all.

    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.
