Hey James,

My name is Justin Li and I'm a college student from California.

I hope you are doing well in school! I think education is something really important.

What have you learned in school? What's your favorite subject?

I heard you like to play computer games! I love computer games, too! What's your favorite game? I like to play Super Mario. Have you played that game before?

Hope to hear back from you. Take care!

Warmly,
Justin Li

To The School Fund,

Hi everyone! How are you doing? I think that everyone is breathing and kicking; in all things I think that you are very great. How is everyone doing? I am fantastic and the weather here in Kenya is very cool and hot. How about there?

As I am continuing with my studies in Good Shepard Academy, I’m improving day by day. For sure I am improving because now I know that the largest star we know is called Stella Pistol or Pistol star and it has a life that is shorter than smaller stars. And the star nearest to the sun is Proxima Lentauri. There are 70,000 million, million, million stars! Do you know anything else about our good smart universe?

I am looking forward to December holiday. I think it will be the best. Greet everyone. Bye.

Love,
James

    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.
