About

My name is Patricia. I am the last born in my family. My father died when I was three years old and my mother died when I was four. My aunt took me to Dar es Salaam. I started class one in 2007 and finished class seven in 2013. My ambition is to become a counselor. My aunt is not capable of paying my school fees because she is retired. I believe that education will help me and I will help others.

Hi Girls

How is school so far? Did you have a good winter break?
It is summer in North America. So usually we would like to take summer vacations.

I just got back from my trip to Iceland. From the name of this country, you can figure out the weather there is kind of cold and it is. Because it is located very close to the Arctic circle, the days do not go dark during summer time. But in December, it is dark for about 20 hours. I was told the cows have to go inside the barn in October and have to stay inside until May. I do not think the cows are happy about that. So it is not a good place to visit in the winter.

It is called a country of fire and ice. We saw many waterfalls, glaciers, geysers and volcanos. As an animal lover, I was excited to see the bird, Puffin and the beautiful Iceland horses.

Here is the link for you to get some more information on Iceland

Iceland is very different from Tanzania. After reading it, you probably will feel very happy that you are not living in such cold climate.

Have fun studying.

Until next time

    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.

    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.
