About

My class rank is 6 out of 42 students. I am fourth born in my family of five children. My father is a driver and my mother is a nurse. They both receive a meager wage to pay for my siblings' school fees and mine too. My dream is to become a doctor in future life, a dream which to be realised depends among other factors on payment of school fees and favourable learning environments. I believe after attaining my career, I will be in a position to afford life and help others who will be in need.

Hi Jonathan,
You have been really helpful with your journals because if you follow up the facts are really applying to the real world
The ones that I have liked are;
9. Victory introduces you to the world, but defeat introduces the world to you.
10. If you don't do stupid things while you are young, you will have nothing to smile about when you are old.
11. Don't waste your time with an explanation; people only hear what they want to hear.
12. Don't rest after your first victory, because if you fail the second time, more lips will be waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.
13. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.


Thanks and have a nice week-end

Hello students,

I finally got back to the US last week.
It has been a very long trip to Tanzania this year total three weeks.

I was very happy to meet all of you and know everyone better.

My trip started from Karatu. I visited 5 schools in Karatu and I learn where do you go to school every day.

I am very happy to know all of you are doing well and every of you has a dream that you want to be successful one day. I encourage all of you to try your best to reach you own destination.

The get together was so well prepared and done by each of you. I am very happy to saw all your science presentations and poems you wrote to TSF and me. I will treasure them all my life.

I can say I am very proud to all of you. Keep up the good work I want to see each of you one day get to
good University/College to reach your own dream.

After Karatu, I went to ARUSHA attended the TED Global conference and visited couple schools in ARUSHA.
I enjoyed the TED conference this year. It was focused on the Africa, specially in agriculture, health and education.

Mr. Amos was a volunteer there, he had great experience being this Global conference and met people from around the world.
He had a life experience at the conference, where he was able to meet a group of bright inventive and talented group of people.

Later I went to Iringa. Iringa almost the second hometown for me. I have been there six times.
I visited all 8 schools in Iringa and meet all of you in person. I was very happy to meet you.

I had a great time at the get together party. All of you did a wonderful presentation. I am very happy to know all of you had fun that night.

My this year Tanzania trip was set MMM computer center for most of the 13 TSF schools.
At Iringa, We build total 5 new computer center in Iringa girls, Klerruu, Lugalo, Ebenezer, Miyomgoni and Update one MMM center at Ummusalama. We build one new computer center at Karatu Secondary School and update one MMM center at Ganako.

I am very proud of building the MMM computer center in most of the TSF schools. I really want all of you to go to the computer center to learn every subject you are interested from the RACHEL PLUS.
In the future everyone work will be on the computer. I hope that every single of you tell me what do you learn from the RACHEL PLUS.
I would like you could to start the debate team in your school so you all could practice how to speak in the public. Have the Math Club and challenge each other on the Math.

They will all benefit your long-term confidence.

I hope I will hear from all of you soon.

Dear Students,

I ran across a very interesting article about 15 life lessons. I like it a lot and thought that you might enjoy reading it also. So here it is ..

15 Life Lessons people most often learn too late in Life

1. Never compare your weaknesses to other people's strengths.
2. Own your life, or someone will own it for you.
3. We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.
4. If you accept your limitations, you go beyond them.
5. Comfort is the enemy of achievement.
6. No matter anyone says to you, you don't have to eat dinner with them, live with them or go to bed with them.
7. If you risk nothing, you risk everything.
8. Don't give others the power to control your emotions. Those are only yours and it is only for you to manipulate.
9. Victory introduces you to the world, but defeat introduces the world to you.
10. If you don't do stupid things while you are young, you will have nothing to smile about when you are old.
11. Don't waste your time with an explanation; people only hear what they want to hear.
12. Don't rest after your first victory, because if you fail the second time, more lips will be waiting to say that your first victory was just luck.
13. Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves.
14. The person that you will spend the most time with in your life is yourself, so better try to make yourself as interesting as possible.
15. The only person you can trust fully is You.
Nobody is going to stay forever.
Social media friends can like but will not likely be there for you.

Best,
Jonathan Gilbert

Hello Students!

I wanted to write to say hello to you all and to ask how your school year is going?

Almost all of the United States has been watching and reading about the hurricane that came ashore in the state of Texas last week, bringing very large amounts of rain up to 52 inches in 3 days. They had named the storm

My fellow student:

Welcome back to school! This is a new semester, it is time for new goals. new ideas and new learning.
At end of last semester, I wrote to you to write to me about the most remarkable or important thing that happened to you during your holiday! I am looking forward to reading your reply when you next write your journal.. Now while I really interested in what are you taking this year what will be your favorite subjects.

Knowledge will give you the power to be known you must read everything you can the more you know the more valuable you will be as a person and to your society.

I am coming to Tanzania at end of August and beginning the September.
I am looking forward to seeing you all.

Have fun and stay focuse! Best wish for all of you!

Hi Jonathan,
The book's content has a lot of meaning in real life since these things create many long lasting relations that are really profitable since I use some of these things like generosity and according to my religion generosity needs no boasting or bragging since it is a good deed.

Have a good week-end

Hello Students,

I just finished a book called The Happiness project by Gretchen Rubin.
She is taking us through her year-long process of finding happiness in all areas of life.
I enjoy the book very much and would like to share with you some of the key points that I found insightful:

1. All the data proves: we need long-term relationships, involving people with whom we can confide, and a sense of belonging.
3. Be generous. Studies show that your happiness is often boosted more by providing support to other people than from receiving that support yourself.
4. Cut people slack. Do you find yourself dishing out judgments during your times of stress- the simple act of letting it go (or not even bringing it to judgment) would bring happiness all around.
6. How do you make new friends? Suggestions from the book:
• Smile more frequently.
• Actively invite others to join a conversation.
• Create a positive mood.
• Open a conversation.
• Try to look accessible and warm.
• Show a vulnerable side and laugh at yourself.
• Follow others' conversational leads.
• Ask questions.
I hope you find the above suggestions useful and helpful. Have a wonderful summer!

Best,
Jonathan Gilbert

Hello Everybody,
Today I would like to share with you one fact that I got from a motivational speech last week
Mr.Hassan suede told us and I quote that "the only limit is the sky"
and he told us to never stop going beyond the limit (but in a good way) by giving the example of the eagle who dares itself by entering inside cyclones in order to fly high

Have a nice week-end.

    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.
