Owino Daniel P.O BOX 52320-00200 Nairobi, Kenya

My name is Daniel, a male Kenyan citizen aged 22 years old. I live at Ngong in Kajiado District. I was born in a family if six members including my parents, however, I stay with my cousin who’s my guardian.

I was introduced to Multimedia Academy by my cousin. Later l personally applied through their website. The school is located at Nairobi International Show Ground on Vivian Collins Avenue. It has a beautiful and a good conducive learning environment.

I am a first year student , studying a diploma in Journalism specializing in TV production, Editing, Sound and Lighting. Since I joined the school, I have learnt a lot. I have learnt the basics in TV, Film, radio, production in general. I have learnt about video quality color, lighting, Audio (sound) and the us of lenses theoretically.

I have grasped most in the above-mentioned areas but I still have a long way to go. In this period I have also improved in my reading and a lot in writing.

Personally, I’m weak in public speaking. I need a mentor to guide me to overcome my weakness. I believe that through this school and with a lot of reading and writing, I will perfect my difficulties. Reading was the greatest challenge that I faced since my first days at the academy but it will be over soon.

In class, we’re eight students. We are team players. We have unity and love amongst us. This helps us do better in class. My best friend is Jane who’s always humble, intelligent and friendly.

Our trainer is an intelligent and a tough guy, but he’s very strict and harsh when you don’t follow his rules and regulations. His best character is that, he likes picking up useless things and weakness from the students and he will begin moulding and turning them into useful and valuable avenues for the students. Kudos to him.

Currently, I’m studying very hard to accomplish my long term dreams in my life. I hope that through my positive spirit, dedication and commitment, I will lead to darker barriers, which I will harvest and enjoy after my three years of education. After completion of my studies, I would like to be the most marketable and demandable, with high professionalism in journalism thus suits modern working conditions and produce excellent results.

Lastly, I do believe that God will bless me to achieve my longing dreams to come true.

Eliseba Oranga P.O BOX 52320-00200 NAIROBI

My name is Elseba Oranga, I am a lady 23 years of age a Kenyan citizen who is hardworking, disciplined and trustworthy. I came from a family of humble background of four children three boys and one girl. I live at with my relatives in Pipeline area Embakasi, in Nairobi. This place is near the airport.

I sat for my primary exams the year 2000 and I attained three hundred and fifty, I joined high school the year 2001 at Kaimosi Girls High School where I studied from form one to two. From there transferred to Tororo Uganda. Here I sat for my’ O’ levels final exam the year 2004 and I managed to score division two. The year 2006 I proceeded to ‘A” levels scoring fourteen points out of twenty six points in my finals.. due to financial difficulties l had to sit back and I could not go on with my studies. But being an ambitious person I knew it was not the end of my burning passion to make one good journalist in the future.

Currently I am a first year student at International Multimedia Academy Nairobi. I am doing Journalism with concentration in camera operations. I came to learn about the school in 2009 through my Aunt who by that period was accommodating me in Mombasa. She happened to meet and know the chief trainer of the school through her closest friend.

Thanks to international multi-media Academy who came up with ‘study Today pay tomorrow. I have acquired some knowledge at this Academy. Now I have got an ideas concerning the film and media field such as production, lighting and much more. Media is a field that requires a lot of commitment patience and time. Personally, I have a burning passion in me to make it to what/who you want to be, gives me energy to go on. In this course, I have also been able to realise my weaknesses which the teachers are helping me to over-come.

In this training I do face some other difficulties like transport and the distance. At times I end up missing my lessons when I am unable to make it on time.

My class has a total of eight students who at least prove to be ambitious. We work together with each other by cooperating and exchange information and knowledge.

Our teacher indeed is a person who is ready to use any means of teaching us his students to come up with the best from every situation. He is a strict person when it comes to education he does ,not in anyway encourages laziness of any kind. We have achieve lot due to the favourable reading environment, of our school and the of course the conducive atmosphere.

At the end of the three years duration of training and with the best knowledge available here and the availability of the equipment and with the minimum utilization of the resources at this academy, I see myself as the best student in the future.

Yours Sincerely

Eliseba Oranga

Gabriel Khasewa P. O. Box 52320, 00200 Nairobi, Kenya

I am the above named person ageing twenty years old and a Kenyan Citizen. At the moment I live in Nairobi at Jamhuri Show Ground. I came from a humble family in western region Busia district. I came to know about the school after the campaign that was carried out in Nairobi city specifically at Jamhuri.Immediately after coming across the posta. I called the numbers that were on the Poster for more detail information. After two weeks later I was admitted.

The school is situated in Jamhuri showground, Kibera location. The aim of the school is to bring up the youths from humble family to fulfil their dreams. Which leads to raising their living standard. The school itself was started the year 2006. it offers the course of mass media at diploma level. The course takes three years. The school has a studio where productions take place. Since I was admitted in the school ready for education, until now we have covered lens , principles of TV colour, Camera operations, production over view and lighting for video. From the covered areas. I can work as camera operator and lighting technician from what l grasped during class lessons.
Despite of having covered all that work, I can recall camera operation and lighting
person only. Meaning that I have a weakness of not grasping all that we have learnt
from the lessons that we have attended.

This term, we should cover composition graphics, audio video recording, video editing , news and documentaries before the term elapse.

There is a good cooperation between the students in that when the teacher delays to
arrive, one leads the rest in reading the notes and explaining where necessary, the
best friend is Daniel who helps me when I am in need.

Our teacher is so strict when the students mess. He doesn’t tolerate nonsense during
the class time. He is harsh to any students who fail to complete his/her assignment.
The school is in a cool environment. My career is to be TV producer. I work to hard
in study and ask where I don’t understand so as to achieve my future prospects. As
per my training. I face difficulties in raising school fees as the fees is so
high. The training needs patience since the course duration is so
long.

Sincerely Yours

My name is Lilian, and I am a Kenyan Citizen aged 22 years old and I live in Kibera with my
family. I came to know this school by a neighbour who told me about it while he was in the 1st
semester. I live near the school. So I came by myself to find out more information and how I can
start. it has been always my dream to be a journalist.

The school has the equipment and we are being taught how to use some of them. It is inside The
Nairobi show ground, which is near my place and I usually manage to walk to the Academy and
cover my lessons.

I am now a student at this International Multimedia Academy where am learning to be a TV
Journalist or TV Presenter in future. I have achieved a lot because when I come I didn’t know
many things concerning TV journalism and TV production. But at least for now I can explain
some of the things, which I have been taught.

I have some personal weaknesses and difficulties in learning, but I know that with time I will
work them out and I am planning to know more in future. I am in good terms with my fellow
students and sometime we exchange knowledge and do some group discussion while the tea-
cher’s not around.

The teacher he is not that bad. I like the atmosphere of our school because you can not get
bored. It is cool and good for learning because of the weather and the climate. It is quite and
not like in tow with a lot if noise from cars etc.

I know in future I will be great because I will have know everything concerning production,
the media industry and I will achieve my goals and in my dream of wanting to become a
presenter.

Thank you
Yours Sincerely

Lilian Atieno
