The career I want to pursue…

Anastasia Desree
I want to be a model and represent black females in the world. I want to stop racism and body shaming. Kim Kardashian, an American socialite is my role model. This is because she is a strong and independent woman who fights against injustice
Faith Murungi
I would like to be a psychologist. This is because I love talking to and listening to people’s problems; talking to them in a way of counseling to make people feel better. My mother and brother inspired me.
Jeremy Mukisa
I would like to be a pilot because I love travelling. I have watched a lot of shows on National Geographic channel about planes crushing. I want to help out and save people’s lives on board. I am inspired by Sabastin Kawa, a Polish glider pilot.
Grace Nalukwago
I want to be a neurosurgeon. My dream is to build a neurological hospital for the young generation and lower the cancer death rate in the country. Paul Kalanithi (RIP), an American neurosurgeon, who died of stage IV metastatic lung cancer, is my inspiration.
Jonathan Ahabwe
I want to be a general doctor. People in villages have less trained doctors and facilities so I want to help them. “Whatever good you put in the world will always find a way of coming back to you.”
Ssali Muhammad Lukman
My dream is to be an Architect. I am inspired by my father who designs buildings and other infrastructure according to a client’s wish.
