LACK OF BUS FARE IS NOT A GURANTEE TO CANCEL THE JOURNEY.

Photo:Myself after form 4 2015.

My education has faced so many set backs but driven my my principles and my dream have found myself thriving walking on quagmire of challenges.

I was born and raised up in a very humble background. The family lacked the strength to provide basic needs. I attended my primary education  at Kikumini primary school in Kibauni ward,Ngomano location,Mwala sub county Machakos county. I was forced to swallow the bitter part of my tender age  suffering due to lack of basic necessities.

Driven by the pathetic family status I worked very hard in mind to alleviate such worries in the family. In standard 8,I managed to get 340 marks which were enough to see me join a better secondary school.I ended up joining a local school despite being admitted to join Makueni Boys which is a national school.

I worked so hard despite on and off. I was so outstanding in my studies something I was happy with.The worst part of my life came when my dad was involved in an accident which took him around half a year bed ridden. To me life had lost its meaning. To make matter worse,he took around five years to completely heal.

This happened while I was in form four. Despite all this heart breaks and psychological tortures,I managed to do well. Lost on direction to take,I ended up getting employed at Kikumini primary school where I worked with zeal and zest. I was so much outstanding becoming the best teacher not only in the school but also in the location.Both the teachers and the community was so happy with me.

The little I was paid was enough to cater for educational needs of my brother and my sister at secondary and primary school respectively.To suppliment this amount,I engaged on crop farming.The produce we harvested was enough to feed us and the surplus was sold to meet family needs. Further more,I became the best poutry farmer in the area.Determination,focus and hard work had been my pillars of success.

I have used such projects to finance my education.As a way of thanking and paying for my sacrifice,Kikumini entire fraternity paid my year one university school fees.

The life may be hard and full of challenges,but remaining hopeful is key.Your today may be bitter but your tomorrow will be happy.It's good to create good rapport with people.Situations are not permanent,never loose hope.
