BACKGROUND
I am from a family of six children and my mother is a single mother. We live in Hoima district and carry out farming as the main activity to provide for the family's needs. I have studied in public schools for my secondary schools, and the money to pay for school fees came from farming and hawking farm products to different markets.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
My father died of cancer after being moved around to many places for medication. It was very expensive and far away from home. After this experience I decided to focus on manufacture drugs to help the many people struggling with cancer. I also dream of using the natural resources to cure chronic sicknesses. I dream of setting up a pharmaceutical industry focussing on mainly production of cancer drugs and provide them affordably to the people. I want to educate many people about cancer. I dream to eliminate this sickness from the population at large.
INTERESTS
I like interacting with people. I am interested in helping those in need - especially the sick, orphans, and poor elderly, among others. I do charitable work like cleaning hospitals, churches, and visiting the sick in my free time. I want to help girls that cannot afford school fees once I am done with my studies and also to set up a pharmaceutical industry to help mainly cancer patients.
