A note from Megan and Sami
Hello Yakima Sunrise Rotary Club,
Happy April!
Just a quick Imagine Scholar update – Last week we began a Computer Literacy unit for our older students. One of our classes was introducing our students to creating word documents and how to effectively format them.
For their practical assignment, each student created a short biography about themselves. While the focus was on the computer skills, Samkelisiwe's content showed a bit more about her character and interests. I thought you may enjoy reading it - I know I did. It was a nice reminder of how unique and awesome of a young woman she is!
Thank you for your continued support of Samkelisiwe's development.
Best,
Megan on behalf of Imagine Scholar

Age: 15 years old
Birthplace: Rosettenville, Gauteng, South Africa
Book I’m currently reading: Pendragon, “ The Never War” book 3 by D.J. MacHale
Favorite Imagine Scholar unit: “What is Reality”- I was really blown away to learn that humans have false memories. It has left me wondering how do we know which memories are real and which ones aren’t?
One thing I can’t go without: Food! I wouldn’t survive a day, were I to go without eating. Even missing one meal makes me want to cry.
What I spend my free time doing: Reading. It relaxes the mind while teaching you things you never knew. It also helps sleep come much easier when you read before bed.
What do I want to do 10 years from now: I want to become a Pediatrician and help save the little innocent lives of children.
Questions I constantly ask myself:
1. Why am I alive today?
2. With the rate things are going, what would the world become in 20 years?
3. How do I contribute to making the world a better place?
