Summary
I am a Tanzanian youth with high motivation of taking part in the development of astronomy and space science as a whole not only in my home country but also in Africa and world at large. In so doing, I highly believe in the future, to play a great role in a holistic development of science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) disciplines which currently is not promising. Despite the facts that there are a lot of challenges for my dreams to become true, I still retain it and keep on taking initiatives including looking for further academic excellence.
