My name is Irene Kilian, and I am a Form One student at Gyekrum Arusha Secondary School. In my family, we are four children: three girls and one boy, and I am the second born.
I enjoy eating bananas, playing netball, and reading storybooks, especially those about farming. My dream is to become a science teacher, particularly in biology, because I want to help my community in the education sector.
My parents are livestock keepers, and they earn a small income. For example, my father earns about 2,500,000 TZS per year; unfortunately, this income is not enough to cover my school fees, uniforms, and other necessary requirements for my education.
The moments that bring me happiness are when I perform well in my examinations, especially in biology, my favorite subject. However, I face difficulties when my parents cannot fulfill my needs, which makes it hard for me to get a better education. This situation makes me sad when I think about how to achieve my dream of becoming a biology teacher.
Additionally, I will struggle by having enough time to study at home, which will boost my performance in school. I will be kind enough to the disabled people and the school fund family one day.
