I can be the catalyst for positive change in society
BACKGROUND
In our family we are five children, and I am the first child. I have four younger siblings; two are girls and two are boys. My parents are involved with small business as small entrepreneurs, selling second-hand clothes. In my upbringing, I was raised by my father and mother, and I've been helping my parents in their daily activities - I have been looking after and caring for my little ones whenever my parents went for search of income. In terms of education, I started studying pre-school in 2006 at a ward school called Lushoto Primary School, after which I joined primary school and graduated in 2013. Then, I joined secondary education form one in 2014 and graduated in 2017. I was in Form Four at Shambalai Secondary School, then I joined Form Five in 2018 and graduated from Form Six 2020 at Nangwa Girls' High School. At home I had time to study and relax, apart from the tasks I was responsible for, thanks to good scheduling of responsibilities. It is obligatory to help parents with homework and it is good too, but it did not negatively affect my development in school since I planned the time and scheduled well.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
The reason I chose the course I am studying, is that I can fulfil my dreams through it, which is to become a better leader who will bring positive change in society. Those changes can be made by a good leader in communities, in collaboration with community members. Things such as poor infrastructure, lack of water, and many other problems have a profound effect on the community. So through the course I am studying, I can solve all that by being a good leader, and that is the reason for choosing a course of political science and public administration, in order to accomplish all that. My dream job is to be a best leader of the people. I need to become a better leader and a role model in the future. Through the work towards my dream, I can be the catalyst for positive change in society and even outside my community. I need to be the best leader and not just a leader of my community. To be a leader in my nation is my biggest dream which I really want to achieve. In addition to my dream job, I also have other dreams to achieve in my life, such as becoming a great entrepreneur all over the world.
INTERESTS
In my spare time, apart from studies, I like to do a lot of things. I like to compose and write poetry, and creating and maintaining a garden in the home environment. Apart from that, I also like to mingle with others in the community - especially the youth, because through it we can collaborate and exchange ideas, have fun, and also get to know each other's various techniques and how we can achieve our dreams and make them come true. Also, when I am at home, I like to teach my little ones and help them with homework. Also when I am at home, I like to cook since I always become very happy to see people enjoy the food I cooked. In addition to all that, I am also involved in small businesses, including the manufacturing and sales of snacks, as well as sharing household chores and my parents' business, which I love very much.
