Isaiah Asiimwe Kakitahi
Asifiwe International cultivated a deep appreciation for sports. I actively participated in basketball on the school courts and frequently played at Harp Hamilton.
My name is Isaiah Asiimwe Kakitahi, and my seven-year journey with the ACE curriculum has been transformative. Since, my introduction to the curriculum in 2017, I have made significant academic strides, learned and developed new skills and talents, and experienced substantial personal growth.
When I first joined the ACE curriculum , I was immediately impressed by the curriculum’s structure, which encouraged students to learn independently and self-sufficiently through the provided material. I embraced it whole heartedly as I adapted to this new system. In 2023, I joined Asifiwe International Academy, earning both my Intermediate Certificate in mid-2023 and my Advanced Certificate in early 2024. My time at Asifiwe International was particularly rewarding as I balanced academic dedication with talents and skills in basketball, guitar, and art, achieving excellence both in the classroom and in extracurricular activities.
Throughout high school, I consistently chose electives in Business, Economics, and Mathematics. My decision to study Finance stems not only from my proficiency in Mathematics but also from a deep-seated desire to understand and engage with the financial community.
Another one of my notable strengths is demonstrated through teaching myself website design. At the Uganda National Students Convention 2023, one of my designs won silver in the website design event, achieving the highest placement that year. I also started a website design agency, Chaldea Studios, completing multiple projects including the current Asifiwe website.
Lastly, my time at Asifiwe International cultivated a deep appreciation for sports. I actively participated in basketball on the school courts and frequently played at Harp Hamilton. It was during this period that I began a regular gym routine, working out several times a week.
More than anything else, a cornerstone of the ACE curriculum that has profoundly influenced my daily life is goal setting. It taught me to seize opportunities and manage my time efficiently to make the most of these chances. I am profoundly grateful for the knowledge, experiences, and values I gained during my time in ACE. With these lessons in hand, I am eager and prepared to demonstrate excellence and diligence as I transition to university.
