I would likes to inquire you to know more about me and our family background and I am interested to be with you as my guidance as well as my teachers.

Dear sir and madam about our family background, my mother married thirty years ago. She had six children, four boys and two girls. Unfortunately my two older brothers died before I was born. I am the last born of my mother. She is a peasant farmer. Even or all others older brother because they have not gone to school because of later interferences of war in Northern Uganda as peoples are in the camp.

My own father died during the course of war 15 years ago after their marriage, when I am only 3 years old. I was too young to know him well, but people say he was a hard working man. Since my father died she did no marry again with any man. And after to now we are at her father’s home. Her names are Akuku Pyerina and my father’s name are called Odong Kosiya. We live in the village called Oguru in the western part of Pabo sub-country and three kilometer from the centers.

I am 18 year old a youngest of my older brother and sister. I started my Primary one in 1999 and I sat my Primary learning exams in 2006 and I managed to passed with 16 grade division II and I was admitted in one of the best school within Gulu distric, but because of financial problems I was advised to applied for a vacant post in senior one in Pabo secondary school in 2007 to now I am in senior four and I will sit for UNEB (Uganda National Examination Board).

Dear sir and madam concerning living in this school since I joined the school I see there is much big changes in building and improvement of school structures, constructed by well wishes through school for school programs. Some are below:
*library is well organize with books
*Teachers are coming from United States of America, especially in California
*They brought for us equipment and chemicals to use in the laboratory.

Besides that sir and madam what I have thing school for schools bring in places are: The school should get advanced level, schools for school provides students playing items in the school likes football, netball and etc.
*Next thing that school should put in place is peace clubs which is very essentials to refresh mind.

Dear sir and madam concerning me my favorite food is beans, vegetables, and sorghum floors as a bread. My favorite games is football and volleyball and some athletics normally long races.

My character sir and madam: I am humble, polite, disciplined student and committed in whatever I want to do. I normally do following as below:
*I respect and love my mothers and all family members
*I love being in peaceful and harmony environment
*I love forgiving one another if he/she did something wrong to me.
*I love praying God to guide and bless me in whatever I do in this world. And many others please, sir and madam.
*I also love studying while working very hard to be successed in life.

Dear sir and madam though I mention a lot what I do and likes most, there are some problems that do affects of parts of which I should overcome it. Those problems are:
*Problems of paying my school fees, since our family is very poor to afford to payed it.
*There is also difficulties in getting school uniforms, school shoes, etc.
*There is also serious problems a hunger when in the school since my mother cannot afford to pay for lunch in this school.
*another problems is long distances. For example, I walked 3 kilometer from home to school of which I used to come late in the morning which also affected my performances in class.

In spite of those problems, sir and madam, I did not sitted back or given up. So I am aiming at these keys plans. A who should I be in future. They are:
1.) I would like to be a doctor
2.) I would like to be a policeman
3.) I would like to be a electricians.
And also I would likes to be a teacher like Pablo and Jenni. Please sir request if you can considered what I have noted down I would be very happy.
