About

I have been raised up in a family of 5 members. Sometimes we could sleep without getting enough, putting food on the table has been difficult for my Father. Fortunately my elder sister who sat for her KCPE national exam in 2015 passed and was sponsored by Committee Development Fund paying half of her school fee, thus reducing the amount of money to be paid. During my class eight time, I have been frequently sent home for school fees which my parents could not afford to pay in good time. I missed a lot that was taught by that time in class because it was hard to go back to school and catch up with other pupils since 3 or 4 chapters ahead had been covered. Through my dedication, hard work and persistence I was able to catch up with all the chapters already taught. When the result was out I became the best pupil in our school. Through God everything is possible if you believe in Him.

Last year January2020, the beginning of my first term in Form Four as a candidate, I had rescheduled my mind to achieve my great goal in life of being the best academically. The term was good since determination was driving the focus in my mind. I had planned to work on my weak areas and to prepare thoroughly for the National Examination ahead of me. The going was good not until the outbreak of Covid – 19 emerged, this disease forced us out of school and that made it difficult for us to get adequate education, at home there was no conducive environment for learning to take place because of local libraries were closed in mind I was required to do what it takes to get success in the end. As a student at home I occasionally partook my studies despite the unfavourable environment. our school organized an online platform but that did not favour me because I was not able to access a device that allow me to study online.
The pandemic made things hard at home because my mother who was asking working in a certain pre –school lost her job hence all basic needs were to be provided by my father whom is a casual labourer , financially we were greatly affected , since it was not easy for the situation really encourage me to work hard and smart my studies , since it really pained me that I was not able to learn like my fellow schoolmates were learning via online, I decided to use one of my friend to be study partner and we started on a journey of learning , we were joined by the two friends from different schools and were went on with our discussion on daily basis , luckily enough we were assisted by a certain local school called Starays where we were given a class in which we held our discussion in , the discussion went on until it was announced by the Cabinet secretary of Education that we were supposed to get back to school and , continue with our normal learning this was a good news to me , although it was tough on the other side, my parents could’t give me all the necessities’ to sustain me in school , but all in all I still went to school .
In school it was not tough for me to adapt because am a particular type who adapts faster in any environment I took my studies seriously as I believed that much was required from me since in me , much was invested we did the first exams and luckily improved from my previous score that is from C+ to B – the slight improvement really encourage me to improve and work hard in the next exam I discovered my areas of weakness and I worked on them , when we did the end of term examination I again registered an improvement from B – to B , the improvement alerted my mind and I am targeting to get to A level, I believe when I continue working hard I will get A and my aspired goals will be attained , I have been dreaming tom partake my University Education in foreign institution I want to do a good course in mind I have three course in which I am really doing my best to obtain there required cluster points to be given a chance to pursue them , I know that there is tough competition a head but I want to have my words that I will be among the selected few to get a scholarship to study abroad , I am working towards my dream because I believe that plans without strategies is a fail with me I have the strategies I must achieve my dreams.

    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.
