Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
A community where everybody is considered important and treated as such. Where there will be freedom of expression and every member has equal access to basic facilities that make life comfortable. My vision for the world is to leave in a world where I can be free to go everywhere without fear.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
The world today, is facing a major challenge because of the lack of food. People around the world, are coming up with new ways to tackle this problem, by modifying the chemical structure of food. In my opinion, I believe that eating an artificial meals will cause many health problems, therefore other solutions could resolve this issue.
Many chronic health problems that individuals face today are caused by an unhealthy diet. Unfortunately, our poor choices do not go unnoticed by our bodies ,instead it is greatly affected. For instance, Individuals who eat a lot of fatty foods are prone to cholesterol and diabetes; the pancreas secrets insulin to our kidneys at certain levels, however when we intake high levels of sugar the pancreas is covered with fats and is unable to carry out its function. Thus, diabetic people have to inject insulin into their bodies to maintain their sugar levels.
The air we breathe today is full o toxic and hazardous pollution. Pollution is a big problem for our health as well as for the environment. Pollution is made by individuals, communities or industries.This problem has been becoming more widespread year by year. In this issue,I will illustrate the causes and solutions of this statement.
Firstly, nature is harmed by human activities such as using cars ad technologies that have been used a lot in our modern century. The first cause of pollution is transportation emissions. A million humans utilize cars and industrial activities, then they have been consuming electricity, fuels and natural gas.For this reason, dioxins, furans, methane and black carbon are coming from factories into our life. It has been causing a number of health problems among people such as heart diseases and breathtaking illnesses. For example, sixty per cent of patients are injured by poison in India.
Secondly, noise and soil pollution has been increasing because of human activities. Burning of fossil fuels such as coal oil and gasoline might be the main reason of being pollution. It is really influenced by climate change on the planet. For example, volcanic activities are the first result of pollution. However, there are several solutions to this problem such as using fewer technologies that can be the solution to this problem.
To conclude, environmental pollution has been upgraded by human activities and factories. As a result, it can be linked to climate change. For this reason, a lot of diseases and illnesses have been appearing. There is a number of solutions for this statement. However, using fewer cars and factories can be the solution to this issue
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
Food security can be improved in the following ways:
1. Reducing food waste and food loss.
2. Improving infrastructure.
3. Promoting fair trading practices.
4. Paying attention to diversification.
5. Reducing the yield gap.
6. Combating climate change.
7. Addressing the indirect causes of food insecurity.
The first way to reduce pollution is to practice the 3Rs concept namely reduce, reuse and recycle. Citizens should reduce the usage of air-conditioners as it will release harmful gases, for instant ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons which will result in reducing air pollution.
Profile
I am someone who exhibits a kind nature and is very detailed oriented. I’m observant and spot peoples’ and situations’ needs very quickly. For example, I tend to notice people who are left out in a group and would befriend such people. I am also inclined to point out missing links and blind spots when working on projects. I like to think through issues carefully and weigh how such decisions will affect people. This behavior stems from my ability to accurately and objectively perceive another person’s feelings without necessarily agreeing with them. It’s a useful strength I use when interacting with people to obtain people’s feedback and to help them with their problems.
Another strength of mine is that I’m a good abstract reasoner. This means I have an elevated ability to handle complex or multidimensional problems. Though this strength has not yet been tested in the working world, I see its usefulness when I use it in my role as a mentor in church. I am stimulated by complex situations people face where I could play in my mind how to tackle them by using different strategies and enjoy showing people new perspectives of the same situation to put them in a better position to solve their problems.
Closely related to my strengths are my interests. I love helping, interacting and meeting the needs of people. I have an especially soft heart for people who have been left behind by the rat race of life, such as children with learning difficulties, the aged who have no close kin, or people who are ostracized by society. For example, recently in November, I volunteered at a math and science camp for children with learning difficulties. It was a very rewarding experience for me to be part of the childrens’ lives for 2 days and be able to show them love and patience, despite moments of frustration. I also recently volunteered an a community event organized by South-West CDC and a memorable experience for me was meeting an uncle who shared to me about the first cabinet ministers of Singapore.
I aspire to make a difference to the lives of people. I am very grateful for the many things I have in life; an abundant life, a safe place to live in, good education, good parents, good health, faithful friends and I hope to give back to society. This is perhaps the strongest reason why I would want to work in the civil service. I aspire to bring insights, joy and hope to the people in my workplace and also those who will indirectly receive from my work.
People and personal time energize me. I enjoy meeting close friends to discuss deep issues and meeting new friends to expand my worldview. Nothing brings me more joy than being able to connect, identify and empathize with someone. Yet, spending too much time with people drains me as well and I need times of solitude to refresh me again. During these moments I ponder about life, I ask hard questions about myself, read good books and spend time in quiet meditation.
I am one with varied interests, a generalist who thrives on the new and exciting. One persistent interest of mine is preventive and natural healthcare. I believe in the power of nature to heal. Medicinal plants have properties that can heal various ailments. Stroking a cat is known to sooth your nerves. Nothing revitalizes the body more than a run in a park. My recent fascination is in massaging pressure points of the hands and head to relieve headaches.
I aspire to make a difference in peoples’ lives. The macro view of this aspiration means doing my part to achieve a vision such a job in MOH would mean playing a role to ensure that Kenyans are well taken care of physically. Or the micro view means being a person of good character, one who encourages the disheartened, who gives feedback to improve a system or person, who also humbly receives criticism and who is a good support and friend to another.
