"My name is Mary and I am a student at St. Josephine Bakhita School. I live in Cura Village, which is 7km from school. I need to get up very early to get to school on time. There are ten people in my family that includes my parents, four brothers and three sisters. We live on a single piece of land, where we have our three rooms made of timber. We practice subsistence farming on half of our land and have three cows for milking. I get to school by 6:30 am for my morning preps and then lessons start at 8:00 am. My favorite subjects are Biology, English and Kiswahili. I have a very busy day and work hard at my studies. We have clubs after all the lessons and leave school at 5:00 pm to head home."
