About

I have been staying with my mother after she got divorced with my father. This forces my mother to take care us without any support from my father. My mother being the only bread winner, works as a housekeeper everyday. She fights hard to put food on the table, which sometimes is not easy to manage feeding the five of us. My mother always prays for us everyday so that we receive blessings. I got lucky after applying for the scholarship program for less fortunate children in Kibera. My hope is to become a neuro-surgeon and in the future I will help my mother and other children come out of poverty.

Form four term one 2020 everything began well. We were all ready to learn and achieve our goals. Life in school was good because I was able to be in school. My school gave us a conducive environment for learning. However, as time passed by there was an outbreak of Corona virus and schools were shut down so as to protect the student against the disease/virus. All learning intuitions and other social gathering were not allowed. All the students across the country went home at the beginning of March.
Life at home was not easy since learning was not easy. Our school started online classes to help the students learn and continue with their syllabus. This new system became harder to adapt since not all students had access to mobile phones, networks and necessary machines like laptops and computers. This system of learning only worked for two months and collapsed. I had to look for other source of studying. We as candidates joined from the neighbourhood and formed a group of eight students. Our aim was to help each other to improve on our studies. The group lasted for three months after which the cabinet secretary announced that all candidates were returning back to school.
At school some measures were put in order to avoid students from contracting the virus. In the school we were to maintain social distance, put on face masks and was our hand regularly. We were forced to adapt to this new situation and with time it became normal. In academics we doubled our efforts in order to be able to wind up our syllabus and recover the time lost during the pandemic period. In school after three weeks we did our mock exam which I was able to score a mean grade of B+. we continue with our learning and after two weeks we did another exam which we are yet to be given the results. We closed school for Christmas holiday for one and half weeks.
We are now returning back to school for our final term and final examination Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (K.C.S.E). I promise to work harder and achieve the best in this coming exam.
I would like to take this chance to thank and appreciate scholarship for paying my school fees since form one up to form four and may God bless you.

    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.
