| Secondary school kids interview-Samson |
| Child 1-Samson. Am aged 20 years old, current school is called Kingwede mixed secondary school situated in the far south coast of Mombasa and now in form 1.My school uniform is a navy blue trouser, cream shirt and a navy blue tie. I normal wake up at 4.00am, start my classes at 8.00am and go to bed at 10.00pm.Before sleeping we have night studies(preps) then pray for 15 minutes and i go to bed. My favorite subjects are biology, chemistry, geography and English while am weak in history, maths, biology and physics. So as to improve of my weak subjects i try to interact with some of my friends who are good in the subjects. My best friends are Suleiman and Bakari, i like them because they perform well in class. In secondary school we have a total of 11 subjects which will be phased out to 8 subjects when doing my final examination and no choices in answers unlike primary school where i did 5 subjects with choices in the answers. In the end term exam. 30% of the continuous assement tests(CATS) is included. Now that am grown up i see that there is need to work very hard in life because nothing good comes easily, I have therefore taken life very serious than before. I hope to be an engineer in future after my studies when i hope to help my family by building for them a good house. While at school i do some extra curriculum activities like taekwondo.Also am a school prefect and next year i hope to be elected as dining captain. On Sundays we go to church within the school and in the afternoon me may do sports. Incase i or my friends get sick we have special room with a bed to relax and have some first aid then every Sunday a special nurse come to our school to examine us and incase its a serious illness we get referred to a nearby hospital.Thankyou, from Samson. |

| Secondary school kids interview. |
| Hi! everyone Its my sincere hope that everyone is doing fine just like us here in Mtwapa, Africa.The schools are closed now since 7th July for a month and all of our kids are on holiday.As you are all aware some of the kids in our sponsorship programme are now in secondary schools i.e 2 girls(Teresia and Mary) and 3 boys(Samson, Vidzo and Ben) are in the secondary school while 1 girl9Getrude) is in the polytechnic undergoing a tailoring course.Since these kids are the senior most in the programme and now on holiday i therefore had some interview with them so as they give out their views on how they view life and schooling in general now that they are growing up to be adults and in preparation for their future.As you all read through i therefore hope you'll enjoy and learn lots from the kids, so keep in touch always in our get jealous website to read more about the kids.Thankyou, yours in service, Moses Kopulo-(sponsorship co-ordinator) |
