My name is Lilian Namaemba. I joined Highway high school in 2016 on my second year of High School. Being new at Highway, I was challenged, the amount of attention given to education here at Highway is not match by any school I know of but I adapted with time.

Teachers have been great, monitoring my progress and helping me improve. This has given me hope in life and I promise to deliver my best grade come the National Examinations. My favorite subject is history; it helps me to learn some heroes in the world.

After school, I want to go to University and study law so I can become a lawyer and make decisions wisely just as other lawyers do.

I like reading novels and newspapers when I am free. I also like swimming and dancing. The best food to me is fried chicken and French fries.

Hello Lilian! You are now funded for the school year! How old are you and what grade are you in? I have a husband, 4 married children, and 8 grandchildren. Our 9th grandchild will be born within a few weeks, and we are so excited! Tell me a little bit about your family and the things you like about school. Do you have any hobbies? I love to play the piano and clarinet, and downhill ski. I also love to read and most of all, spend time with my family! How about you? Have a blessed new year, and a wonderful time in school! With love! Jill Post

    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.
