About

Mercy is an orphan child in a family of three children. She is the first born in her family and she together with her two young sisters live with their grand parents. Her late mother was single and the sole breadwinner of the family but passed on in 2015. Mercy currently risks dropping out of school because there is no one to pay her school fees. Despite this challenge, Mercy is optimistic and very determined to complete her secondary education and become an electrical engineer in future. She believes that education is the key to a successful life.

Greetings Steve,
It is my hope that you are fine together with the family. It is long since we communicated but on my side I am fine and still working hard in my studies. My family is well too. I am happy to learn that you visited Kenya in October though I did not meet you. Hope you liked the adventure. You are correct! "Shamba" is the kiswahili word for garden. We are now at home for the December holiday until early January. At the end of the year we did an exam which I managed to score a mean grade of c+. During the holiday I will help at the "shamba" since it is at the onset of short rains. I will also work harder on books in revision to improve my performance. We shall also celebrate the Christmas and happy new year too. Do you celebrate this holidays in America?
Thanks you for supporting me in education. I wish you you a blessed Merry Christmas and happy new year 2017.
Good bye.

    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.

    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.

    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.
