About

Class Rank: The most difficult experience in my early life is when one boy lied to my mother. He told my mother that I have many boy friends in and out of school. My mother was very angry at me initially. But after l explained to her it was not true, she understood. From that experience I learnt not trust all people, because they can tell lies and hurt our feelings. My dream is to be a good international pilot of Tanzania and other countries. I study extra hard on the science subjects and English. The moment I was proud of myself was the day that I passed my final primary exams. I am always happy when I perform well in my exams. I will give back to the community by contributing some money to the School Fund so that more children can get education.

Hi

My name is Indy Ting. I am very happy that Judy asks me to write to you and to become a friend to you.

First, Let me introduce myself to you. After working in the computer industry for many years, I retired about 7 years ago. I and my husband moved to San Fransco area about two years ago. I have two grown up daughters who live in New York City. I do not get to see them often. Right now I have a dog that lives with us. She is a very cute dog. My husband and I enjoy taking her for a walk everyday.

How is school these days? I missed my school days. Mathematics and writing were my favorite subject. What subject do you like.

My husband and I spend a month in Botswana and Keyna in 2015. It was an amazing experience for us. Hopefully we can go back to visit again.

Please write back to me. I am very interested to know what you are doing and what you life is like at school. Or you can ask me questions, any kind of questions.

Looking forward to hearing fro you.

Indy

    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.

    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.
