I've just started my last year at secondary school and I feel happy, nervous and sad. Happy because I can keep working towards my goals, nervous because I know I have to make even more of an effort, and sad because this will be the last year with my friends. My aim is to work very hard this year so I can graduate with good marks. I am very grateful to you for making it possible for me to continue with my studies.
Hello. This year has been full of new things and experiences different from those I was used to, but I got through it and finished the year with excellent marks and with lots of new knowledge. I worked every day to educate myself via videos. Now I've started my penultimate year at school and I'm enjoying what I'm learning. I am sad though that we are still not back at school full-time. I miss my classmates and teachers, and above all the great teaching and laughter that we shared. I hope all these problems are over very soon.
This term has been part good and part bad. Because the classes aren't face-to-face it's sometimes difficult to understand, and also the school sends too much homework so I sometimes feel stressed. On the good side though, I've managed to do most of the work and pass the tests with the help of the internet - which means we can find lots of information. In other words, I've learnt to study in a different way. Thank you for your help.
My experience of studying by internet has been new. Sometimes it has taken me a long time to do homework, because I didn't know how to work the programmes. I think it's been a challenge for everyone and we've all had to learn. It's been difficult for me not to be able to see my teachers and my classmates and not to be able to laugh with them. This makes us feel very stressed in our daily life as it is at the moment.
Hi. I've just started at my new school. I'm very surprised at how big and how strict it is. At the moment I don't have any friends, but I'm happy to know that I'm going to learn a lot because there are more teachers and they know a lot more than in my previous school.
Hello beautiful how are you doing?
Can I be your friend?

    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.
