The School Fund TZ

My mother was sick when I was very young. My father had left for Arusha. It was sad because I thought my mother would die. I am thankful that my mother's friends came to help her. I learned from this situation that it is bad when a father abandons his wife and children. My dream is to become a doctor. It can be achieved only through education. I will study hard. My happiest moment will be when I succeed and have a good life.

Class Rank: 2/301 My dream is to be an engineer someday because my uncle is an engineer , I admire him! I will study extra hard in three subjects: Physics, Math and Chemistry. My moment I felt especially proud is when I scored the 2nd best out of three hundred and one students in my terminal exam. My happiest moment in my life is when I get to live with my uncle and aunt after my parents died. I did not have to live in an orphanage. My most difficult experience is when I failed in my standard seven mock exams. Thanks God it was only a mock test! I learnt to always study and I thank God because now I am the 2nd best student. After my dream come true I plan to give back to the School Fund by helping other students who live a hard life. I will also take part in social activities to help those poor children in my community.

Class Rank: 3/65 My dream is to become a doctor, I will continue study hard to get there. Four years from now I want to complete the secondary education, and proceed to higher advanced education which will take me one step closer to my dream. The most difficult time for me and my family was when my father failed to pay back a loan, and the whole family's life become miserable. I learned that my father loves us because he borrowed money in order to care of us. The happiest moment of my life is when we had a school tour to visit Mikumi National Park.

Class Rank: 5/244 My name is Joshph Mbuguni. I am proud of myself when I passed my exams. I want to be an engineer so I study very hard in Physics, Geography and Chemistry. All those are my favorite subjects. My happiest moment in my life is my birthday that is the day I came to this world. The most difficult experience I had early in my life is failing my Physics test. I don't like that failure at all, so I study extra hard in Physics. The life lesson I learned is that without good preparation we can't get good result. After fulfill my dream I will use my knowledge and skill solving my community problems. I will help other poor students reach their dreams.

When I become a pilot, I will learn about airplane transport. Then I will open a plane company. In that business, I will be able to provide planes that work and earn money. I will help my family. My company will bring tourists from other countries to visit places in Tanzania so that the national parks and tourism will produce foreign currency for my country. I'll need to continue studying hard to get a good education. I want to be able to help my family. My father's legs are paralyzed and my mother works hard to earn money to take care of our basic needs.

The most difficult experience in my life happened when I was selected to join my secondary school. I lacked money for school needs and I could not be at school when it started. Finally my parents got some money and the school allowed me to attend. My dream is to become a doctor. In order to make my dream come true, I will study hard and cooperate with my teachers and fellow students. I felt especially proud of myself when I passed the examination. It was a happy day when I was chosen by The School Fund, not only for myself but also for my family because we all share the problem. I want to help the community by supporting people, especially students who have no money for their school needs.
