My school this time has been very challanging since we have been exposed to alot new things at the final class that i was nt familiar with...We did our exams this term that is our pre-mocks and i managed to get a B- which is not a good grade to me. i managed to become the 5th in our class and 7 in all the form 4s class of 161 students.This term i never wanted to involve my self in a lot of extra activities apart from my academics since its my final yaer and i want to come out with the best,.through your support i know that i can do it.Keep on giving me support and i promise that i will never fail you....I hope GOD has been with you RIchard may HE find favour in you and bless you more and more..Have a blessed year and all the best.

Hi Erick ~ I am so pleased that you are doing really well in school. Those are are very good positions and to be best student in two subjects and getting awards is really fantastic. Something to be really proud of. I knew you wouldn't let me down - a great quote. Here is one that I think that you will appreciate - "THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRY AND TRIUMPH IS A LITTLE UMPH". God bless and good luck. Richard

Hi Richard, it is long without writing to you my journal during my April holiday. Am cool just waiting for the school to be opened and I also hope that fine as you always are. The term had a lot of activities both academically and in the extra activities such as sports and games. I had the chance to participate in of the activities like the mathematics contest that was held in Nakuru County. I must say that our school was the first runners-up in the football games and I’M proud of it thou I was not a participant. Academically, I have maintained my last term grade B making me position 4 in our class and position 5 in the whole stream of 169 students. I was the best student in Biology and C.R.E among all form two students making me to be given two awards of being the best student in the mentioned subjects. Hope you are also working hard and as they say “HARD WORK WILL NEVER GO UNREWARDED” That’s my quote for the term. MY GOD BLESS YOU.

    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.

    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.
