The difficult experience I had in life was being sent at home almost every week for lack of school fees, I learnt that if my parents were able I couldn't be sent home.
The moment I felt proud is when I joined my junior secondary school after my parents struggled to pay for it.
My happiest moment Is when I was in school with my colleagues sharing academics.
My dream is to become a Doctor through my hard work in academics.
When I reach my dream I will help my family grow better in life than today with the community and WEF and I will support the organization and the needy pupils.
If I had power I will change education to be free to everyone.
"Education is the passport to the future for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare it."

This term has been one of the hardest times in my school life. I started the term with a lot of joy and a strong wish to work hard for my dream of becoming a doctor who treats heart problems. However, sudden sickness caused big problems for my studies and my attendance. Early in the term, I fell sick and had to go home. I went to the hospital and was told I have asthma. After getting medicine, I went back to school, but my body became worse. I started feeling very bad pain on the left side of my body and had to visit the hospital many times for tests. The doctors advised me to see a specialist, but because of a lack of money, I could not go.

Because of these health problems, I was only able to go to school for three weeks in the whole term. I also missed the mid-term exams while getting medical care. By the time I went back to school, my classmates were far ahead in the lessons, which made it very hard for me to study for the end-of-term exams. On top of that, our school had a strike, which stopped learning again. Even with all these hardships, I decided to go back and sit for my final exams because I wanted to try my best.

I know my exam results this term might not be as good as my sponsor and I hoped. I feel sad about this because I always try to do well for my future. Missing many classes and exams was a big setback. I do not use my sickness as an excuse, but it was a real struggle. Still, I am happy that I did not give up. Going back to complete my exams gave me strength. This term showed me that good health is very important, and it taught me to have patience and trust God.

In the coming term, my main goal is to go to school every day without missing classes and read all the work I missed so I can prepare well for my Grade 10 national exams. I promise to work harder so my marks can show what I am truly able to do. I am very grateful to my sponsor for supporting my studies and believing in me. Their help gives me a chance to reach my goals, and I will keep doing my best.
