Nyanzi Raymond

we all group with dreams not knowing what life would bring.
My name is Nyanzi Raymond 20years old.A son of late mr.Kyazze Richard and miss Asiimwe Regina.
When my father passed on our lives changed.We were two boys by then and I was the older.My mother was a government teacher so I started my education early with her in all the schools she went to.She added on some small scale farming we she used to grow food to supplement on her income budget.Years went on when I joined primary level.Because of my big ambitions of being a great doctor,she wanted to give me the best form of education and therefore she took me away from UPE schools due to poor education system to a private school.In private school life started to harden for me and for her because of the big expenses there,I was always sent home on a weekly basis because of school fees and requirements.Because my brother had to study also plus meeting family needs it became a big expenditure for her I had to return back to a UPE school for my P4 and other classes.We used to have two teachers a week or three at most but greatly God helped me with a good 2nd grade for my P.7(15agg).With a short time I had to join secondary level which was a very challenging because here the school fees go as high as 600,000 and this was beyond her monthly salary.She had to go in for loans,police arrests,confiscation of property,weeks and months without education these became a new normal in my secondary life and for my mother,because of the loans.My teacher who had seen a potential in me decided to sponsor me for my Olevel education.Not until when I finished with a good first grade(22agg).My ambitions never went low because I knew that if I could me them I would change lives of people starting with my mother and the suffering people in hospitals I saw when my dad was being treated there.A level came in but I had no Hope’s that I would join any school for my A level due to my combination I wanted to offer.(Biology,Chemistry, Mathematics,Computer) This required over a million ug shs to study it.My future was bleak.Because mom had alot of debts,loans and arrests.Her salary could not even reach her but it was with held by the bank because of very man debts,my brother had to quit education for 2yrs so that mom cld push me to the end…my o level teacher promised to help me with some money every term and therefore we had to look for the balance I sold my rabbits,hens,and some crops I had to raise some money for requirement.I always liked farming and I did it as a pleasure and a side project.we failed to raise the remaining balance in time and therefore I missed first term.I was linked to a certain trader in town who promised to give me aid and continue up with education and I returned back to school.Not until I recently completed my A level with good results too(11pnts).But also I couldn’t join for university still this year because of tuition.I have decided to do farming to save some money that I will use to see that next year I can atleast join however much the tuition is too much..I have dreams to fulfil,people in our village need my services and to help my mother and brother also get their dreams come true.I became a father and a son to my mom in life.However hard it may look like God will do it for me
