I love to dream

When I grow up I want to be a soldier

I live with my mother and she is a single parent. One thing am amazed everyday is the love she has for me as her son and I don't think there is any other person who can or will love me like her. 

I was a good girl until I went to secondary school where I made new friends who introduced me to things which I regretted. Coming from a village life and then into a town school , I thought that was real life. 

I was at home then I saw something flying over my house and I was told it's a called a drone. I met the young man who flying it and I asked if I could touch it and hear more about it. 

I was one of the students who struggled at school just because I wasn't that intelligent. I still tried to work hard but it couldn't work out. That was the time I decided to start my own business of selling plastics

I fell off a bicycle and broke my arm, I was afraid that my parents will shout at me or beat me. But they don't do that instead they took me to hospital. I have made my kind that I will never ride a bike again

I decided to have my own vegetable garden at my house because I don't want to spend more money buying them. My house is just nearby a borehole and every time to see water being wasted which goes away anyhow. 

Am working hard on my farm behind me and am looking forward to a big harvest. The money which I will make from soya sales will be used buy fertilizer for next year's maize field.

“I liked school but it was hard to concentrate in class because I was lacking some of the basic things at home. I stay with my grandmother and both my parents passed on. 

“My school is very far from my home and it was not easy for me to arrive in time for classes. So my brother decided to teach me how to ride a bicycle and this helps me to arrive in time.
