Felistus Kathina
My early experience that I faced was being sent home for school fees which made me stay at home for almost two to three weeks.
The most difficult experience I faced was the demolition of my parent's house where we lived in Mukuru Kwa Njenga back in 2022. This event made me realize the importance of education in breaking the cycle and instability.
I felt proud of myself when I achieved top grades in primary school after months of dedicated studying. Balancing my school work with helping out at home was challenging, but my commitment paid off when I saw my final report card.
One of my happiest moments was being admitted to a top high school which felt like a significant achievement. However, I am concerned about finishing due to lack of funds to cover my fees. This challenge has strengthened my determination to seek solutions by applying for this scholarship.
My dream is to become a doctor and make a meaningful impact on people?s lives. To achieve this am dedicated to excelling in my studies, gaining practical experience and pursuing continuous learning.
Once I achieve my dream of becoming a doctor, I plan to support my family by improving our financial stability and providing better opportunities for them. I will contribute to community by offering healthcare services and mentoring young people to pursue education. I will also help WEF by acting as a donor and a supporter to needy children.
If I had power to change Kenya, I would focus on improving access to quality education since it is the key to success and also healthcare across the country. This would make them to be affordable to the local wananchi and mama mboga. This will generally empower individuals leading to economic development.
