Hello. I've been feeling better these last months but still a bit worried because of the pandemic and the insecurity here. I've been vaccinated and have returned to face-to-face classes. It's not the same as when we were studying at home, but I'm still doing my best, so that I can attain my dreams.

I've felt rather sad this year because I haven't been able to go to school and have real lessons, and also sometimes the internet connectivity at home has not been good. But the technical problems have always been sorted out in the end and I've done well in my studies. I'm glad I've passed the year without any problems and can go on to study in the next grade next year.

These 8 months of this terrible pandemic have been difficult for me, as economically my family has had a hard time. My parents have made a big effort though and little by little have made sure that I have everything I need. I have to say that we learn a lot less via internet lessons (compared with face-to-face classes), because there isn't much interaction and sometimes the internet connection breaks down, but anyway I am continuing to study and so far I haven't had huge problems.

Hi. I hope you are well. In this unexpected quarantine I had to spend more time with my family and I found out how difficult it is for my parents to put a plate of food in front of us every day. I have been studying and helping my parents in doing work at home. The work that the school sent me to do was not easy. I learnt how to cook some dishes and also how to communicate better with my family.

This year I've started my first year of the baccalaureat. That means I've got more responsibilities and more work. I'm studying some new subjects - physics, chemistry and biology, and biology is what I like most. In the future, I'd like to study gastronomy.

Hello everyone. I am glad it is now the summer holidays! I will have more time to play with my friends and to play the guitar. We start school again in September. I like school too, but it's good sometimes to have a rest.

    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.

    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.
