Reflection Post

This project had helped me in many things. It helps create interest in reading, it improved my understanding in vocabulary, and it makes me understand the story including the moral. By reading the story, it taught me many things about passion. Being optimistic and hard working was actually the personality of the story’s main character. By reading each chapter, it makes me want to be successful like him. The book actually told some tips of being successful.

This project also helps me understand more about the life of a famous scientist, William Kamkwamba. He shows me how a child without education has a successful life by his own achievement. He started everything from zero. He got dropped from the school, and he doesn’t have any internet or any electricity like us at his time. He then even became more successful than many people in the present time. It was quite fascinating to learn and read about his story. All his experiences are used in the future. I would like to thank my English teacher, Miss Amy, for allowing me to do this project, I’ve learn many things from this book. From his life and his achievements, William became an inspiration to me.

William's goals, dreams, and motives

William was actually just one ordinary boy, but he does have an extraordinary thinking that is different from the other people. As William grew up, he had a dream of being a scientist, a famous and a good one. He wanted to be a scientist because he wanted to learn more about the world. He also wanted to help his own people from suffering and his country to be developed. But it doesn't mean that he will be a scientist by just dreaming. William tried his best to reach the best school, he also tried his best to find out some knowledge by himself.
William's goals varies in many part. His goals are mainly about successfully help his people. But before that, he must've learn many things and try out many experiment to successfully built a windmill. Another of his goal should probably be about impressing his father and his classmates. It's obvious that everyone wanted their father to be proud. Just like William, he really love his parent and he wanted his father to find something interesting in him. He as a child also got insulted by most of his classmates, so his goal was also to change their minds.
William's people during his time was in a depression and lack hope. They got attacked by many disasters and now they left nothing, they don't even have electricity left. So William's main motive was to help this people by building up a windmill. He also have a motive of finding experiences and building amazing things. He wanted to know the work and use of many machines but he found the windmill most interesting. With his hard work, his responsibilities, and also his motivation, he finally met his goals and dreams. He finally made a creation of a big windmill that really help his people.
