About

Class Rank: 5/57 I want to become a pilot. I have learned a lot from the most difficult experience I had in my life when my mother left us and went to live with her mother. My sister and I were too young and not able to cook. Our life was difficult because no one cooked food. I felt very bad because I was not able to help, Father was the only one could cook, but he already so much work to do. I learned that it is difficult to live a good life if you don't have enough. I want to make sure to work hard to study and help myself, my family and others.

Dear Students,

A few years ago I came across a list consisting of some habits that are good to get into. I have incorporated these good habits into my daily life and I’d like to share them with you. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

1. Sleep early, around 9pm - 10pm. After working hard through the day, your body and mind need refreshing. Rest them as soon as possible.
2. Wake up early, around 5am - 6am. Start your day early. That time is the best time for inspiration to come in. After wake up, face the sky and the sun through your window. You will be motivated.
3. Be independent. Do your tasks by yourself. Solve your problem by yourself. Don’t always depend on other people. This doesn’t mean you should not get help from others.
4. Say thank you. Always say those 2 words if you get help from others.
5. Reading. Motivation and inspiration comes from what your eyes scanning for.
6. Writing. Put down in words on things that come to your head. Try to write 1 article per day. Having a diary is also a good approach.
7. Walking. Let sport always get into your day. The simplest one is walking. Keep moving and stay healthy.
8. Meditate. Focus on what you are doing. Finish it first and move to the other one. Don’t do multitasking. You can also meditate by sitting calmly and paying attention to your breath.
9. Help other people. Help people as they need and you are capable of doing it.

Have a great week,
Jonathan Gilbert
Dear students, The semester has gone by quickly. We hope you continue to thrive and enjoy your studies. Life will be much easier later if you study hard now. Your teachers are there to help you and so are we. Each one of you must have a favorite subject, something you love and can do well at . . . That will make you happy! Challenge yourselves in other subjects that might not interest you as much and do the very best you can. You will be surprised . . . You might decide you like those subjects too😄.
We are so proud of you and want only the best for you! Study Hard! We are excited for your futures!!
Thank you for all your accomplishments so far, Kate Adams
Hello Judy.
Here some topic about the rock.
All rocks on Earth change, but these changes usually happen very slowly. Some changes happen below Earth’s
surface. Some changes happen above ground. These changes are all part of the rock cycle. The rock cycle describes
each of the main types of rocks, how they form and how they change
Rocks are made of minerals
Hello Jenny.It is my great hope that your fine and i just like to share about human action on soil deformation.
It may “just” be dirt, but soil is one of our most important resources. We would starve without it. In fact, human
beings — and most other land organisms — would never have evolved if it weren’t for soil. That’s because humans
and other consumers rely on plants for food, and plants need soil. Soil anchors plant roots and provides them with
water and nutrients.
People have always depended on soil. But for many generations, they took soil for granted. They didn’t realize that
their actions would cause so much soil erosion. The Dust Bowl dramatically showed people what being careless
with soil could do.
Human Actions and Soil Erosion

Growing Crops

The problem doesn’t stop with plowing. Crops are usually planted in rows, with bare soil in between the rows. In
places where crops grow only during part of the year, the land may be bare for a few months.
Dear students,
Welcome to the TSF family. It is a privilege for me to work with you. Though my welcome may come a little late. Please know how lucky you are to be included in this big family. Hope you are happy and do your best to achieve your goal. Opportunity does not come by easily, you need to remember to grab this chance and make your life different. Put your greatest effort and make your dream come true.
I am having some health problem; hence I am not able to reply to your journal promptly. Please know that all the TSF staff do care a lot about you. I will try to write to you more often after I gain my health back. Thank you for your understanding.
-Jenny
Dear Students, By now, you have come along way this school year. We hope school has gone well for you, you have studied hard and are meeting your goals.
Where we live, winter is here and it has started to snow already. We don’t get around as easily so we stay home and read and now I am making soap for Christmas gifts!
How will you celebrate your holidays?! Will you Be with your family?!
We wish you happiness and all the success you dream of.
All the best, kate adams
Hello Jonathan.thank you for writing to me.The quotes you gave me was so interesting and i will use them in my daily lives.I recopy the one here
Experience The Joy Of Learning
Each time you learn something new you gain more knowledge and with more knowledge come more confidence. Learning helps us become more adaptable and flexible to new situations. Learning encourages us to be more creative and innovative in our thinking and we are therefore more comfortable with the unknown.
Reading books is a great way for us to learn. To fully embrace the joy of learning, never stop reading and searching for more knowledge.
Hello Judy.I hope your okay.Thank you for coming to our country.it was so joyful journey to us.so welcome.
Dear Students,

I love to collect wisdom from different sources that are meaningful to me.
Below are a few of my favorites that I would like to share with you:

1) When you master your emotions, you master your life
Anger. This is one emotion that is sure to pop up sometime during the day. How you deal with your anger says a lot about who you are as a person. How well do you manage your emotions? Do you have a harsh reaction if someone says something insulting to you? Anger can be a destructive emotion if not managed properly.

2) Respect other people’s opinions even when they differ from your own.

Conflict. It’s rare that two people agree on most topics. Conflict is everywhere. It happens at work, home, with family and friends. Disagreeing isn’t the problem (although most people think it is). The problem is not giving value to the opinions of others.

3) Experience The Joy Of Learning
Each time you learn something new you gain more knowledge and with more knowledge come more confidence. Learning helps us become more adaptable and flexible to new situations. Learning encourages us to be more creative and innovative in our thinking and we are therefore more comfortable with the unknown.
Reading books is a great way for us to learn. To fully embrace the joy of learning, never stop reading and searching for more knowledge.

4) Touch someone’s soul with your kindness
Random Acts of Kindness. It’s the little things in life that matter most. Hold a door, smile at people. Kindness does not cost much and it touches the soul of another person.

5) Speech is a powerful tool.
Your words. Watch your words carefully. They can be daggers or building blocks. You can crush the spirit of someone or make them feel like they can conquer the world. Taste your words before you spit them out. Words are your thoughts coming to life. It’s your choice.

What are your favorite quotes and wisdom to live by? I’d love to hear your thought on that.
Cheers,
Jonathan Gilbert
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.
Hello student
Hopping that every thing is all right. My name is SAMWEL MASSAWE from Klerruu Secondary School Iringa Tanzania. As a student I would like to share to you about LIFE SKILLS.....
A skill is the ability of an individual to apply his/her mental and physical power to control the environment. It involves things like thinking, playing and implementation so as to solve social, political, economic and culture problems. These skills are the ability to understand one self, build sound relationships with others, survive under difficult circumstances, act responsibly and safely, and solve problems. It addresses the balance between knowledge, attitude and life skills....
There are various needs of life skills........
As children develop, their life begins to change. Adolescents may develop a variety of life skills to prepare them to face challenges, take up family responsibility, make decisions and think about what they want to be in the future. Life skills education addresses these issues for the benefit of the individual and society at large. Life skills equip adolescents with knowledge and attitudes that should lead to the requirement behavior. They reduce health risk and raise awareness on health and related behavior such as sexual abuse, drug abuse, violence, drunkenness, unwanted pregnancy, sexual transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. Life skills play a decisive role in helping to prevent these behaviors and enlightening teenagers about these challenges so that they can protect themselves.
There are various sources of Life skills such sources of Life Skills where people learn from are
1. Family: Parents, guardians and other relatives are primary source from whom we learn different life skills.
2. Neighbors: We learn the different ways that people live from our neighbors. Good neighbors help us to behave well.
3. Friends: Friends helps us to acquire various life skills. Exchanging good ideas with friends help to mold us in to well-behaved individuals.
4. Schools: The good education we get at school enables us to develop skills for life.
5. Society: the way people live in the society allows an individual to learn what is expected of him/her and how he/she should behave in different circumstances.
6. Religion: Good religion teachings help to get skills which enable us to live harmoniously in society Note: The above mentioned sources of life skills are sources of positive and progressive life skills.
That is all about.
..........<<<<<<<<<<THANK YOU AND HAVE A NICE DAYS>>>>>>>>>>..........

Hello Karen, how have you been doing, the following are some characteristics of living organism.

Response to the Environment
All living things detect changes in their environment and respond to them. What happens if you step on a rock?
Nothing; the rock doesn’t respond because it isn’t alive. But what if you think you are stepping on a rock and
actually step on a turtle shell? The turtle is likely to respond by moving—it may even snap at you!
Growth and Development
All living things grow and develop. For example, a plant seed may look like a lifeless pebble, but under the right
conditions it will grow and develop into a plant. Animals also grow and develop.
How will the tadpoles change as they grow and develop into adult frogs?
Reproduction
All living things are capable of reproduction. Reproduction is the process by which living things give rise to
offspring. Reproducing may be as simple as a single cell dividing to form two daughter cells. Generally, however,
it is much more complicated. Nonetheless, whether a living thing is a huge whale or a microscopic bacterium, it is
capable of reproduction.
Tadpoles go through many changes to
become adult frogs.
Keeping Things Constant
All living things are able to maintain a more-or-less constant internal environment. They keep things relatively stable
on the inside regardless of the conditions around them. The process of maintaining a stable internal environment
is called homeostasis. Human beings, for example, maintain a stable internal body temperature. If you go outside
when the air temperature is below freezing, your body doesn’t freeze. Instead, by shivering and other means, it
maintains a stable internal temperature.
Complex Chemistry
All living things—even the simplest life forms—have complex chemistry. Living things consist of large, complex
molecules, and they also undergo many complicated chemical changes to stay alive. Complex chemistry is needed
to carry out all the functions of life.
Cells
All forms of life are built of cells. A cell is the basic unit of the structure and function of living things. Living things
may appear very different from one another on the outside, but their cells are very similar. Compare the human cells
and onion cells the animation titled Inside a Cell at the link
below, you can look inside a cell and see its internal structures.

    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.
