About

My name is Nicholas Omwenga and I was born on 26th october in the year 2001 in Kibera slums. My parents are from Kisii country. I started schooling in the year 2004 at Fefa Preparatory School then transferred to Kicoshop Primary School where I sat for K.C.P.E. I love swimming, playing football and listening to music. My weakness is trusting so much while my strength is wanting more knowledge. My past and present situation is lack of basic needs e.g food, shelter and clothing. Even when I was a child I had a big imagination thinking that I could become a big time engineer in life. I thank SUN so much for this opportunity.

As the school opened as planned by the Government in 2020 I was determined to plan myself for the new Year everything was okay and the Teacher aim were to complete the syllabus in time so as to help the form four students with their revisions and all that four students when the Covid cases were in Kenya the President announced that all schools to be close so as to help the students not to contract the virus , so everything was supposed to go home , the first three months were really difficult as I did not know how to read because we had not completed the syllabus to me was difficult to read ahead because some topics were really difficult by my own I tried to cope with the Government protocols were one was to read through the internet and Television programmes were not displayed or shown to the students making it difficult to read then the ones who taught some were very fast and I could understand some things.
Seven months come to pass and the Government ordered the form four students to return to school. I am glad to be back and thankful for your support that allows me to continue to attend school.

    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.

    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.
