About

Class Rank 80 out of 250 Secilia is a thirteen year old girl, the only child in her family. She lost her father in 2007. Currently she lives with her grandmother whose work is to sell used clothes in streets. The little income Secilia's grandmother earns is used to cater for their basic needs which include her school fees as well as food for the family. Her mother is living in Dar es Salaam and is jobless. Secilia has been forced to miss some of her schooling days because of failing to pay the school fees on time. Secilia says "Education is the light that can help her to have a brighter future".

Hello Secilia,

My name is Karen, and I am new to The School Fund, working with student communication.

I live in California south of San Francisco, my studies have been in literature and for enjoyment I read in science and I am interested in the arts.

I have worked in books all my life, for bookstores and for a large book publisher. I have a grown up son named Christopher who lives just a few miles from me.

I look forward to exchanging news with you; I would like to hear about your studies and your thoughts.

Have a good break and I hope we can learn more about each other when school begins again.

With my best wishes, I am sending you a picture of two girls close to the net in a game of volleyball.

I wish you and your schoolmates success in your studies. I am glad to help in some way. I, too, had received study scholarships, and many more opportunities opened up because of the scholarships.

Good luck in your studies!

Hi Secilia!
Thanks for your response!
I am sorry to hear about your family. However, it is good that we have friends on which we can depend on as well.
What is a form? Is a form like a grade level that determines what year of school you are in?
I am in my first year of high school.
Physics and chemistry are two cool scientific subjects! I have not taken chemistry or physics yet in school, but I will take chemistry next year.
Volleyball is also an awesome sport! Unfortunately, I am not very good at playing volleyball.
Instead, I like to play a sport called badminton, which is a little similar to tennis.
Hope to hear back very soon!

    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.

    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.

    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.
