A valuable lesson I’ve learned is the importance of thinking carefully before making decisions. I faced a significant challenge during my advanced level when I mistakenly chose a combination that didn’t align with my career goals. This experience taught me to think twice and consider my options critically before making decisions that affect my future.
One of the most uplifting moments in my life was when I was selected as a member of The School Fund Tanzania. This opportunity provided me with financial support, relieving a major burden and allowing me to focus on my studies. The experience motivated me to work even harder to achieve my dreams, as I knew I now had the support I needed. After completing my O-levels in 2021, I engaged in financial activities to support my family by working as a babysitter. This experience not only helped my family economically but also prepared me for my advanced-level studies. When I finished my A-levels in 2024, I continued working to support myself by selling food, which boosted my confidence, social skills, and experience with people from different backgrounds. Working as a babysitter also taught me patience, especially in caring for children, and helped me understand the importance of positive interactions within the community.
In 2020, I had the honor of being a class monitor. During my time in this leadership role, I worked to create a cooperative and united class environment. By encouraging teamwork and addressing conflicts, I helped my classmates improve their performance and strengthened the sense of unity among us. This experience taught me the importance of collaboration and conflict resolution, skills that I carry with me today.
