Quotes

“Also, I want to fight against child labor as I have experienced and faced it roughly.”

“My role models are our Professor Wangari Maathai because she likes taking care of our environment and due to her efforts she won the Nobel Peace Prize. Our school secretary because when I am stressed she usually gives me a word of courage and she is not hot tempered, also her behavior is also admirable as she is beautiful and did not mess up during her education, drop from school, or give birth to a child while she was learning…”

“You have made me to a happy child and enabled me to be in secondary school.”

“When I was in primary school, life was so difficult for me to bare because sometimes I went without food. Also I was the one to find what we was supposed to eat ie I and my sister as our relatives had abandoned us- but all the same I managed to finish primary school level.”

“My personal strength is reading hard and making sure I fulfill my dreams.”
