Charles I

My name is Charles and I was born in 2007. I attended Kironge Primary School in a remote part of Western Kenya, graduating in 2021.  I am the youngest of 4 children and my parents struggles a lot to support us since they are both unemployed. There is very little work in the village where I live. My mother recently suffered a serious stroke, which was extremely difficult for us all. She has been slowly recovering, but remains very weak.  I had to take care of my mother a lot over the last few months, and this meant that I could not study as much as I needed to for my exams. I feel that without this challenge, I would have scored even higher as I know I am capable of great things.

I dream of attending university and become a great person in the future. I will work hard to achieve this goal as I know it will be very difficult.
