BACKGROUND

I am a first born from a family of seven children, where my father is a peasant and my mother died long time ago.It has been almost ten years now. My family expects much from agricultural activities, where we depend on rainfall to support our agriculture. Sometime when rainfall fails, it becomes a problem to us, but if rainfalls comes on time we also achieve well in some extent. The challenges which I have been experiencing are that, having a single parent is big a challenge, because my father first of all is aged and it becomes difficult for him to fulfill all basic needs to our family. That is why only I, alone from my family, reached the university level of education and this time it’s difficult for me to help my young brother and sisters because even I, myself, am in a position of not being able to support my fellows. Other challenge is that here at university, we are emphasized to read and take notes through a computer, to me it becomes a big challenge again because I don’t possess computer, so I am learning under such challenges. My dream is to become a facilitator of adult training programs or activities because I have been experiencing some difficulties caused by illiteracy. My grandfather didn’t get to go to school, my father left school and there are so many people like these. So this situation makes them to see education as less important and they think there is no need for them to send their children to school. So my interest is that as soon as I graduate from my bachelors in Adult and Community Education, I will use these skills to introduce a program of educating and reducing ignorance in our society, especially in rural areas where this problem is chronic. The town where I am coming from is called SONGEA, it’s found in the southern part of Tanzania.
