Both my parents are alive, but I have been living with my brother in Iringa. He took me from the village some years back after realizing that my parents had no intention of sending me to school. They are too poor. It is my brother who supports my education, though I do communicate with my parents occasionally.
The most difficult experience I have had in life was living with parents in the village. My parents are peasant farmers who produce mainly for consumption, and they introduced me to farming difficult and tedious work! At my young age, I found it hard to work on the farm. This is the reason why, when I got an opportunity to go to school, I studied very hard so that I didn't have to go back to the village.
I was very happy when I standard seven results came out and I had passed. I felt very happy. I started seeing a bright future with education. I had longed to come to secondary school.
In my life, I want to be an optician. When I was in the village, I saw many people, especially elders, suffering from sight problems, though the problem is also common among the youth and children too. If I become an optician, I will help my family by building them a decent house and buying a tractor for cultivation. I will also support WEF through volunteering to provide lessons in schools regarding causes and prevention of sight problems in early years.
If I had the power to change my country, I would establish a wide market for local commodities, especially farm produce. Many peasants and farmers like my father struggle to get a market for their produce.
