“I hope to be doctor or an engineer because I am good at sciences like biology, physics and chemistry.”
“I envision helping the community educate and discipline their children so that their children can achieve their goals.”
“As I was about to take my [high school entrance exams], my father got sick and had to leave his job. I was worried and started thinking that my education would end in class eight. My mother told me not to lose hope. I studied hard and when the time came to take my exam I did it confidently and I passed. As the days went by and people started high school, I did not know if I would ever be able to go back to school. One day my brother came home and told me [he would pay my school fees]. Now I can improve my community by educating girls as well as boys on the dangers of losing hope in education.”
