00:00 My name is Adhomba Issa Timame.
00:02 Yes, continue.
00:05 I'm from Shekhalifa, Binzega, Al Nahyan.
00:08 I feel very lucky to have done well in the KCC examinations.
00:12 I would like to first thank God, my parents, all my teachers.
00:16 And also like to thank the government for the new grading system.
00:22 It has really helped to boost all of us.
00:24 I feel very happy. I'm overjoyed.
00:28 I didn't expect it so well, but yeah, alhamdulillah.
00:34 He's being humble. He's being humble.
00:36 Maybe, what was your hardest subject?
00:38 My hardest subject were my languages.
00:40 I've been very good in my sciences and mathematics.
00:44 Languages were a really tough challenge for me, but thank God for my English teacher, Mr. Mashigai over here.
00:49 And Mr. Arisha, and everything else. I'd like to thank them.
00:53 What do you intend to study in the university?
00:56 Most likely law. I'd like to take the footsteps of my father.
01:02 Yes.
01:03 What's your name?
01:05 BD, BD, BD.
01:08 But also, I'd like to advocate, you should also do extracurricular activities.
01:11 Not many students like to take part in extracurricular activities.
01:15 Like over here, I used to take part in swimming, and like Young Scientists Kenya, with Mr. Karis over here, swimming with Mr. Hamud.
01:23 Yes.
01:25 I think it's very difficult to raise this issue in a loud way.
01:32 Because, you expect a politician to say that the children are spoiled, they haven't studied.
01:38 But today, we have a child who is a politician, and not a politician.
01:41 I've been in a lot of accounts, and I can tell you that he's been in a lot of trouble.
01:46 I think it's very difficult to raise this issue in a loud way. First, the father and the house are a number of disciplines that have been cut.
01:55 And the son is a number of self-discipline.
01:58 And our school is a number of disciplines that have been cut, and the father can't even trust us.
02:02 And not just him, he's got his brother here, this is our former student, and this is another one here.
02:06 The governor, the former governor, has full trust of this school.
02:11 He talks about the substance of this institution called Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayl Al Nahyan, Alhamdulillah, Iblal Ameen.
02:17 And the teachers that we have here, and the administration, and the board of trustees and management.
02:22 It means we are all working in sync, and we are doing the right job.
02:25 But above all, that mosque there is what does the wonders.
02:29 Because our belief in Allah, our prayers and our dedication to Him, and dependence on Him, is what tops everything else.
02:38 Thank you.
