I want to become a doctor and go back to the villages near my home, where mothers still walk hours just to see a nurse. If I can help fix that, even a little, it will mean everything. Dreams are worth pursuing no matter one's background. It's just a dream.
I want to become an engineer and build the roads and bridges my village has never had, so help can finally reach us when it matters most. I watched too many families cut off for that reason. No community should be left behind just because of distance.

I will be joining ALU and I will be pursuing software technology can elevate the future of education by bridging gaps in access to quality education.
