What Hope Integrated Academy means to me:

I am very pleased to write for you because I would like to tell you how Hope Integrated Academy has tried to help me achieve my goal.

            For two years I was at home without going to school. In our village I had a friend called Oliver, she told me, “between Kyetume and Mbiriizi there is a school which has started to teach students in an after school program. It is called Hope Integrated Academy.”

            For me, it was a miracle because I was at home for two years. The next day I came with her and I started to study in the After School Program. Then teacher Fred told us we were going to start a senior secondary school here and he would like all of us who had finished primary to join this school. Oh! I was very excited about that but I had the problem of paying fees. At that time I didn’t know what I could do to join the secondary school.

            The day which the school began I came to see teacher Fred for him to tell me whether I was going to join the secondary school. However he wasn’t there, he had gone to Masaka.

            The next day was Tuesday. I came and I saw him and he told me, “Issa, we are trying as hard as we can to look for a sponsor for you but do not be afraid.” At that time I started to feel proud because he had told me that they were trying to look for a sponsor for me.

            On Wednesday I came in the morning and met Fred and he told me, “Issa, I have good news for you.” Oh! To hear those words from him I was very happy. Then he told me that I have got a sponsor. My God, I was very excited about that. From that day up to now I’m very happy.

            So now, I know that Hope Integrated Academy has already started helping me to achieve my goal. Due to the high standards Hope started with I know that I will continue to graduate correctly under God’s aim.

            After I finish, I would like to be a doctor because I’m interested in biology and maths. So now, that is why Hope Integrated Academy has already started to help me to achieve my goal.

What Hope Integrated Academy means to me:

My name is Nakato Rose. I live at Murobere. I moved from my former school to Hope Integrated Academy due to its academic excellence and because Hope Integrated Academy has volunteers who will help me in my future.

            Hope Integrated Academy is a school which has volunteers who help orphans in their studies.

            I like the teachers of Hope especially those who teach us English, Fine Art, History, Biology and Chemistry. I have chosen these because of the quality of explanation those teachers give to us.

            I like Music and Drama at Hope Integrated Academy which helps us to relax our minds.

            Lastly, I like the volunteers who come and teach us English. Why I have said so is because they speak English and explain the meaning of words to us when we ask them to.

            So, after my studies, I want to be a doctor. What I dislike at Hope is the state of the environment. What I suggest is planting trees, small grasses and flowers so that our environment looks nice.

            More teachers are needed for our academic studies. I dislike those students who speak Luganda, they will end up failing exams because exams are set up in English. I advise my fellow students to participate in activities such as debate, quiz, music, dance and drama and playing football and netball.

            I conclude by saying Hope Integrated Academy is going forward due to the volunteers who help us with our studies.
