BACKGROUND
I am the first born of nineteen children from one father and three mothers, that is to say am from a polygamist family, where my mother is a first wife and she is not staying with my father since 1993. My parents are living in Moringa village where I was born, Daudi ward, Daudi division, Mbulu district. This is in Manyara Region, which is in northern part of Tanzania. My parents are all peasants. I started my primary education in Daudi Primary school 1996. My studies were very difficult since my parents where not staying together and could not work together to find needs for our family. Reaching standard five I started searching for needs on my own which made it even harder to study as much as I should have. Thank God I passed standard seven national exam and started secondary school 2003. I was one of the best students who was awarded during form four graduation in both science and arts subjects. I paid my school fees by employing myself temporarily in small scale agriculture, mainly during holidays. Sometimes I was chased away to find tuition fee and my parents where a playing very small part so for me it was a really hard time. I managed to earn money to pay for Advanced Level studies at secondary school by doing small scale agriculture business, buying and selling hens. Thank God on 25th of February I completed my last exam and got a temporally teaching work. It enabled me to pay back the money I borrowed to study at Advanced Level and at very same time, to help my young sisters to pay their tuition fee. I joined my university study in 2010 however, after completing the first year I had to postpone second year. My young sisters and brothers, one sister is taking diploma of civil engineering, the other is taking certificate of agricultural and live stock the others are in secondary school or primary school. My dream is to add some quality for people who lost their hope by treating patients and producing young professional doctors that is teaching medical students as well as making research with other health professional people and at last to run my own clinic. My interest is listening gospel music, to sing gospel, as well as reading the Bible. Recently am I Kilimanjaro region for studies, Medical Doctor Year 3. Kilimajaro is on the North-East of Tanzania. From my home place to Kilimanjaro is about 250 kilometres.
