Early in life I had to walks for long distance when I was 8 years old. It was about five kilometers during the weekend from the rural place where our home is to the urban area to sell charcoal. Another experience was walking for about three kilometers from home to school when I was 6 years old. The distance was too long at that time. When I was 9 years old, I was separated from my family and started to live with my aunt.

All in all, the most difficult of these experiences was walking so far during weekends to sell charcoal in town when I was very young. It was difficult to cover the long distance while carrying a heavy load of charcoal. But the charcoal business was helpful to me. It ensured in a minimum way that we would get my school needs and other family needs, although it was not enough. Through this I learnt to struggle without giving up.

I felt proud of myself that I didn't give up at that time, regardless of the hardships and challenges that I faced, like missing school needs sometimes and other hardships as stipulated above.

The most memorable and happiest thing in my life is when I joined WEF’s School Fund family. My life was changed. They started to provide school needs for me and I give my heartfelt thanks to this trusted organization.

In my life, I dream of being a successful person and help others, like orphans and special groups like elders. The only way I can achieve my dream is through working hard, studying hard and hoping to be led the way to success. After reaching my dream, I will help my family by providing basic needs to them and helping the younger children by giving them school needs. Also I will help the needy ones in my community and special groups like orphans and elders.

I would like to change the education system so that education is specific starting at the lower level. I like students to be taught according to their field of interest, for example, engineers should start their specific training from early in their studies.
