Nearly Graduated

My name is Esaie Nordeus. I live in Foche Gran Gwan. I am planning to graduate this year. There are 5 boys and 5 girls in my family. My mother sells breadfruit, bread and pistachio. She also gardens to help meet our needs. My father and mother are alive but I do not live with them during the week. I live with a friend who is closer to school. Every week I go to my friends apartment and on Friday I go back home after class. I have gone through a lot of trials but God gives me determination to overcome all of them. I look forward to finishing my studies and taking advantage of opportunities that the sponsors made possible. I am motivated by all the sponsors who have helped me since I was a child.

There are a lot of things I am keen on about my school. For example:

  • The sponsors who invested in me with their love, alleviated my parents concern.

  • The clinic that is always available to me. The medical staff takes good care of me and because of that, I am much more healthy. I don’t catch as many diseases because of prevention and education.

The food is also a great help to me. I am often hungry in the midday but the food helps me to persevere through the day. I have lots of other friends from school who spark my life. I love the sports championships. The new school bus has been amazing. It was so difficult for me to get to school because of the distance. I used to be anxious about how I would get there. Now I can be confident that I will have transportation.

The trade school is also a good thing for me while I am still at school. I strongly believe it was God who put that in the heart of the leaders.

Math is my favorite subject at school because I am a big fan of numbers. I like it because I am excellent at it. After school I would like to teach mathematics and be an engineer. I want to teach children and share my knowledge.

What makes me smile is when I am with my classmates and I am feeling good. I am happy being with them, eating, sitting on the bus, and solving math problems.

What makes me sad is when I am on holiday because I can not see my classmates, when I am ravenously hungry, and when I get so sick.

I am working right now to prepare for my last test at school. I am not ready yet or feeling 100% confident, because it is a very hard test. When the time comes, I will be prepared thanks to God. My favorite foods are manioc, breadfruit, bananas, potato, and fried fish. I eat everything but those are my favorites.

My favorite activity is walking with the other students, playing soccer and going to church.
