I have had a mixture of life experiences in my early life, both good and bad experiences. However, bad experiences have outshined the good ones. One of the worst experiences is when I lost my grandmother in a road accident in primary school.
The most difficult experience in my life is being sent home because of school fees areas and finding our house closed because my parents have not paid rent as they are trying to raise my school fees. I feel so bad when my parents struggle to find food for me and my brothers and raise our school when they both do not have a permanent job.
I felt proud of myself when I found out I have passed my KCPE exams despite me being sent home frequently because I have not finished paying school fees while other pupils remain in school studying.
The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is when my mother hugged me after passing my KCPE exams. She was very proud of me.
My dream is to be a teacher after finishing school. I will achieve this by working hard in school.
After I achieve my dream I will assist students who are struggling with there academic and co-curricular activities to realize and use their potential and excel in life. I will also help my family which is struggling financially and open a business for my parents. I will donate to WEF so that others who have a problem similar to mine can be assisted also.
If I had the power I will change the state of transparency in my country, I will try to reduce corruption since many missed opportunities due to corruption.

The year started well and we opened the school on Wednesday 8th January 2025. On the following day we started our opener exam. The exam was completed on 17th January 2025. After one week, the exam was released., but due to fee balance I had missed some papers. The term had a lot of events like drama and sports. Our school did well in drama until the national level. We had a half-term break of one week. We then came back for another 4 weeks to continue with the other half of the term, we did the end of term exams in which I managed to get grade D+ due to missing some papers.

The program of the year started with great pressure. We opened the school with opener exams. We finished after a week. The school started the normal lessons. During the preps lessons,teachers and students were committed to accomplish the learning progress. No misconduct was registered in this first term . In every Sunday we had a quick test which was ranked out of 50.
We did our final end term 1 examination. I scored a D+ which was not a better grade. It was a drop from the opener exam. The reason that led to that grade.,was the inadequate understanding of the set books.
In the second term., we had the great event which our school hosted as a centre of sports and music. Our school hosted the co curriculum activities but the normal learning programs were uninterrupted. Teachers were striving to finish the syllabus. We did the mid term exams and managed to score a C-. We had a midterm break on the 8th week. We reopened the school on the 11th week and we managed to do an exam.
We did the end term examination and managed to score a D+. Still this was a drop. I had missed some of the lessons while at home being sent for school fees. This was also caused by attending the music festival activities.
The third term had a strike which actually affected two academic weeks. We reported to school but we managed to be there alone without teachers for those two weeks. On the third week of the term,teachers started reporting to school and we started an exam. We finished and the results were released. Our school did not manage to host prayers day for form fours because there was a circular which inhibited the program.
We managed to do an exam which I managed to score a D± which I improved on the points but maintained the same grade.
