I am in my last year of high school at Highway Academy, I will be sitting for my national examination in November this year. I have studied had during my four years of high school and am proud of Highway for shaping me into the person I am today.

Lots if thanks to the WEMA Community for helping me pursue my dreams. I would like to take a Bachelors of Commerce at University level and proceed to become a banker. This will then empower me to support children like me who come from a poor background.

I hope to come back to Highway to teach after High School as a show of gratitude for the good this school and WEMA has done in my life.

The journey has been long and I have still got a long way to go, your support has been a great relief and for this I say thank you. Am putting all my time and effort into my studies, I trust that I’ll make you proud when my results are out.

Thank you.
Dear Quelington,
How was your year of school? Mine was busy and hectic with homework and sports. I saw that you want to be a computer engineer. I do not know what I want to be yet but I dream of one day coaching sports. I attached a picture of me in my football uniform. I hope you have a great school year!
Love,
Joe

    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.
