She does well in school, hopes to go to university, and shows interest and enthusiasm in every learning. She always enjoys her lessons, but she especially likes and excels in Kiswahili and Biology lessons. She has great potential for achieving the goals she sets out for herself. She is learning that she should be an imitator of Christ and His gospel.
