The School Fund

About

Class Rank: 4/301 My happiest moment in my life is when my mother is happy and all my family members are together. I dream to become an engineer when I grow up ,so my family can live a better life. I am going to get there by studying hard and achieving high scores in my exams. The most difficult experience I had was the time when my mother was not able to make enough money to support her family. From that I learnt that our life is hard, I must do my best to reach my dream job so I can help my dear mother. Someday I will be proud of myself when I improve my mother's life. After I become an engineer I will fund other children's school fees. I will make sure that all the children can get education and have good future even though their family are poor.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy

Hello madam Judy, it has been a while since I wrote to you a Journal or an email and for that i am really sorry since it makes you loose hope that we do not care about you and the scholarship that you offer us from form two up to this moment but that is not the reason at all.

The scholarship fr TSF has helped me very much in my life of school and home as well as helping me finishing my O-level studies safely without any hardship and for that i have been able to pass my exams with Division 2.7 and this will be much disappointing to you because what i promised is to perform higher than what i did although the grades will favour me going to advanced level but it wasn't what i planned to achieve .

From the time i finished my O-level studies in November 2018 up to now i have been doing a lot of stuffs like business and also studying other things that have impact in my future and career while waiting for the A-level posts to come out, but during the period there are a lot of other ideas that are more helpful in making my dreams come true occurring which i will share them in more details if my request to you will be accepted,because the opportunities i have met they may make my future and dreams come true as you want and have in mind for us to have a better future.

Since way back i have been writing in my journals and also i have been dreaming of becoming an engineer in my future. The engineer i want to be is mainly being a computer engineer and basing on the Networking department, and during the time waiting for the A-level posts to come out i decided to begin the Networking course provided BY CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY from san Francisco but have their branch here in Tanzania at RUCU university where i take that course which by the end of this year I will be completing the first course namely IT ESSENTIALS which began in January 2018. Therefore this course is known in providing Technical skills basing on Professional in Technology which is growing day after day therefore it has a great impact if i take the course which is related to my dream career and also brings the outcome in a better way other than the academic education in our syllabus which doesn't change according to the present time and activities around the world in general this course will make me more competent since we learn by doing Practicals and most of the times in field which is much different from the education provided in the Tanzanian syllabus aiming at much theory and less practicals.

Now for the above explanation and brief idea that i have i would not like to be going against the plans and conditions of TSF but the truth is that i want to take the advanced course while still in the school fund(TSF) program and by that i think its best if i talk in more details with Mr.Amos and you Madam Judy if it is still possible to still fund me although i wont go in A-level.

I wish to hear from you soon , and i hope my request will be much concerned as how i explained above .
Yours Henry Lyimo

Hello Jonathan,

Thank you very much for your Post that you sent to all of the tsf students,Its really a reality about the things you wrote in the post concerning Mastering emotions,respecting other people's opinion,kindness and the power of speech.

This is because i myself have observed a lot of incidence occurring to people who do the vice versa of what you said must be done,for example about "respecting other peoples emotions'' its a thing that most of the people in our community fail to do just because of ignorance and sometimes just being careless concerning opinions that they are given, although other people's opinios are negative but they must be listened before rejecting them.

looking forward to get wonderful posts from you,
Henry Lyimo.

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 Madam Judy,

It is a very grateful pleasure to hear from you again and I believe that God is at your side guiding you in different activities that you do and plan to do daily.

Apart from that we are all are waiting your arrival here in Tanzania with a lot of presentations that will make you amazed,poems,songs and a lot of stuffs that will make you not want to go back in U.S.A and want to stay with us here in Tanzania.

since some of us have never get a chance to meet with you eye to eye and talk strait with you mouth to mouth this might be the only chance to express our thoughts and amazing stuffs that we have in our minds.

May the almighty God guide your plans coming to Tanzania,
with lots of excitement to meet you soon
Henry.

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.
