People always say Maths and Physical Sciences are the most difficult subjects and are not easy to pass. I used to agree with them but my tone has since changed. With the right mentor and your hard work the two monsters can be easy prays. Maths and Science are now just a piece of cake.
When I joined CBE organization I did not know how they were going to help me. But now I know how helpful it has been. In our school there is no laboratory for practical work. CBE has made it possible for us learners to interact with chemicals and laboratory equipment. It is really a life changing experience. The practical work makes learning easier and interesting. Interacting with learners from other schools was the other experience which I will never forget. It is really playing a huge role in changing my mind-set. The interaction pushed me not to only rely on the teachers but try to get help from other learners.
CBE trainer give us question papers to work on and we are always encouraged to practice frequently. This has since changed the way I study. My levels have since improved due to my changed approach.
I wish the CBE will continue supporting our school so as to instil the love of Maths and Science. I aim to get at least level 6 in both subjects
