Hi Nuura,

I also enjoy studying science and making jokes with my friends! We have the same dream of one day being able to give back to the somali youth. I hope you have a great school year and reach your goals.

Hello Nuura,
I am so excited to see that you are advancing to the next grade in school, grade 9! It has been over one year since I wrote last. I am happy for your progress. Here is a photo of me writing, just like I am writing to you now. We keep you in our thoughts! I am not sure if you are able to see these messages but just in case, I wanted to send it here. You are special! Best Wishes, Bethany
Hello Nuura,
My name is Bethany, and I'm so happy to write to you today! I live in the United States with my husband and six young children, ages 2 to 10. I finished reading a book about Abaarso School and all I can say is that I'm really excited for your education. Somalia seems so far away, but we all share the same sky. When I see the moon, I will think of you in Somalia. This will be a fun, simple way to connect. What are your hobbies? I like to read, write, and run. My favorite thing to do is probably read. I know English and Spanish. My kids are actually learning Spanish at school in a dual-language school. Never forget that you are important and incredibly special! I will keep you in my thoughts, and it's a real honor and blessing to encourage you. Our house can be a little loud sometimes but if you cannot hear us with your ears, you can hear us with your heart. Right now the kids have one week of school left before summer vacation, and I am glad we'll have nice weather to ride bikes. Our winters are very cold with lots of snow! Because of this, I really appreciate spring. Sometimes we have to go through the bad to appreciate the good. What do you think? I hope you have a beautiful and peaceful day and I hope we can communicate. Best Wishes, Bethany Snyder-Morse

    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.
