Sponsor Francine's High School Education in Zambia

United Students Achiever Program (USAP) is a non-governmental outreach program for financially unable students to access colleges and universities across the globe. All Grade 12 Kucetekela Foundation students had the opportunity to apply for this program. The application was straight forward and did
not require help from others. We submitted during the first term and four Kucetekela Foundation students were chosen. Being part of the four students felt like a great achievement for me.
During the April holidays, we had a USAP Boot Camp at Pestalozzi Education Centre. This boot
camp was set up to introduce us to the SAT exams, which we were to sit for in May. These exams will help us in applying to American universities. We had several seminars where we got to learn about the SAT English and Math sections. Not only this, but we also had the chance to meet and talk to several successful people, including professors. We also had a chance to talk to them individually during tea
breaks and lunch. They advised us based on careers we wanted to learn about and also shared their experiences of the SAT exam. The talks were so interesting as well as motivating, and all we could think of was taking down notes. Currently, we are busy working on our SAT practice and applying to universities that we are eligible for. I am looking forward to the boot camp that will be held in Zimbabwe in August. During the boot camp, we are going to learn how to write application essays, as well as looking at several admissions requirements that universities have. I have learned a lot during the USAP boot camps, and I am anxious and excited to learn more during upcoming events.
