Rehema

From the start of the interview I could tell that getting this scholarship meant a lot to Rehema. She started out a little nervous, but still sincerely told us that her family was poor and she would really like to do anything she could to help them. She also explained in the interview that she feels that her level of education is not high enough yet and she wants to have the opportunity to improve it. I was impressed by her passion to learn and concern with helping her family. She realized that through education she could change the life of her family and that is her future goal.
Rehema lives with both her parents and has many siblings, 7 brothers and 4 sisters. She attends Ben Bella Secondary School and her favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry and math. She ranks number 12 out of the 51 students in her class. She says that by getting a better education she is able to teach her family and friends also.
