THE WAY

I am an A’ level student. I am a science student. I want to be successful in life, just like I hear of many prominent people in the world. The desire to achieve success has not left me the same. It has changed every bit of me. I have changed a great deal. These days, I lay awake_ keeping my eyes opened all night long_ just to see my dreams come true.  I keep up every night, reading every letter in the texts such that it becomes part of my DNA. I know it is hard to keep up so late and I know its consequences_ feeling dizzy the following day and looking half asleep. But it is the only way to go, the only way to achieve success.

Day by day, night by night, I keep on reading hoping one time it shall come to pass. All the misery will vanish and success prevails. I feel it instilled within me. I see it; I foresee it in my insight. 

So I believe in the time to come that I will have it hand and no one will take it away from me because I will have worked so hard at it. It is through my daily practice that I have confidence in the time to come. And it is not my worries that drive me, my weaknesses that discourage but my strength that braces me up. I am proud to shout out my success to the whole universe.

MY UNBELIEVABLE ADVENTURES

Hello my esteemed reader. It is been a while now ever since I last wrote a blog. Now I have a lot of things to explain my absence and the delay to write blogs. 
It was really a pleasure to be nominated or chosen to be part of the ICT  mappers. It was one big luck that I was yet to explore my geography skill of mapping using an ICT idea. It happened that I found myself with a team of twelve students to map with. It was simple. These were digital maps. So we used digital devices. These were actually smart phones, GPS units and computers. So the teacher introduced us to how to use these devices and with no time we had owned the skill. The next step that followed after this is actually the threshold for today's blog. The story begins.
In our neighborhood, there is a place known as Katoogo. A place known for its poverty. A slum it is. It was the place we drew all our focus to since it was in line with our theme "COMMUNITY MAPPING FOR URBAN RESILIENCE AND SAFETY". Actually, most of us had not grasped the finer and clearer image of what our theme was actually about. Now we sloped down to Katoogo with a great eager to know what lay in the wetlands. No. In the slums.
We did not take long before our boots stepped on the muddy grounds of the slum. We paused amazed at the first glance when our eyes caught the entire place with funny houses confined in the same place with out any discernible plan. One house looked very much similar like the other and if one did not known the place, one would actually lose one's way to a certain destination in the slum. However, there in between the houses existed corridors and these are what had been turned into play grounds for the children.The poor children run about the corridors all chasing one ball. All of them were drenched with sweat which they dried with their dirty patched clothes. Their legs were brown- the color of mud. What was so similar about them was their unfitting pants. The torn pants were sagging down and so they always had to hitch them up.
Oh what a plight they lived in! But they were happy and unbothered about their misery.
At that time, we started our work straight away. We took pictures of most scenes, and taking data on every thing there that was worth to record. One of the most pitiful conditions of the place was sanitation. It was so poor. There poor latrines_in fact, some latrines had an abnormal structure as they were instead flats. They were so high in the sky.
There withal, garbage was every where. It compiled up and made a huge heep that was the mother of the stench that infested Katoogo. 
In addition, this place had no proper drainage, steams of water passed through everywhere and the whole ground was soft and sticky. A lot, more weird things happened in Katoogo but people still lived there. Where were the poor people to go once they left Katoogo? That was a question that everyone called in question_it was a question of concern. 
A students of coarse, we did not intrude into any business that we had no partnership in. Our work was to collect data and present it as one detailed map. Of what importance was this. It was for pitching out our idea to the UCC( Uganda Communications Commission). Even then, were to compete with other schools that had other ideas of ICT and were to use them to help solve problems in their society. But we had hope that once we showcased our project, it would be of help to slums in urban centers.

THE KEY TO EVERYTHING

A key is meant to open up door locks. And without it, one may not be able to enter into any locked building. However, the same is true about our day to day life. There are things that we can't open simply because we can't access them - we don't have the "key".
Through my life time, at least I have lived short or long enough to witness some of the basic innovations to simplify human life. And all started from the development of the machine I am seated behind, facing it trying to operate it. A computer. It is a computer.
You may start to wonder whether or not I have gone astray in reference to today's title. But I am certainly still on the right track. I refer to the computer as the key to everything because one hardly moves a few yards in the city and finds not a computer being used as the main operator of all machines  in any single or more firms. There withal, it is also found in homes and here, there and every where!
So, in many things a computer does, I chose to talk about the internet. And I am talking about what I do with it. A few years ago, i joined st. Denis school and it was the first time I touch a computer without close supervision. Then I saw the internet the great things it does. Now that it became known to me, a teacher of mine has taught me one great thing the world has ever done. He taught me internet mapping and this is what I came to talk about. It is something that every one can make to help every one in need of specific locations of places. One goes any where of one's interest and he sketches out the map. He  then fills the information in the internet such that any one who needs to find that place can easily locate it. It fun! Trust me!
we began in a smaller number than we are right now. We started up this way of digital mapping - adding information of the little known places of the isolated slums etc.
Why do I call this practice a key to everything?
It is a key because one is opened for a place that he may probably have failed to reach because of its unknowns. And now one can reach that place and does any thing of his interest in such a place. Isn't that then a key to everything? Of course yes.
Next time I intend to write about more things about this mapping. you too may join us to draw the entire universe into one public map.

Hello there! My name is Lugoloobi Regan. I like writing just as I do reading for I believe there's always a message behind scriptures. Likewise, I wish to express out my ideas through some written pieces of mine with hope that you would share with  me your ideas as well.
To begin with a word of gratitude, I am so effusive in my gratitude for you who is currently reading my blog and I beg of you that you continue reading my blogs so that I may explore my art of writing.
Being the first blog, I intend to make myself known to you such that you get to know the basic introduction of me.
I am currently an A'level  student at St. Denis Ssebugwawo Senior Secondary School Ggaba. I am a science student taking mathematics, biology and chemistry as my principle subjects. I enjoy studying such subjects because I like knowing the mystery behind certain existences. For instance, mathematics is enjoyable for the fact that one, like me, may like to play around with numbers. More so, it could be away of relaxing the mind.
some of my hobbies are; playing basketball, reading novels, and playing music instruments. I play a clarinet whose sweet sound stirs up my joy that my heart throbs with an uncontrollable excitement just at a mere thought of it. I also like hanging out with friends on pleasant occasions but that is the rare practice in my life- I spend most of my time creating something nice to others. It could be a song. I can sing but I mostly do the rapping. At times I spend my time creating articles about anything that comes to mind. Actually, that is one of the primary reasons why I chose to open up a blog account.
One of the things that I will be writing about in one of these fine days is about open street maps. I like computing too since it also a science subject. So, I pray that you pick interest in my work and you too may enjoy the digital life!
