Being raised and brought up in a slum always turns out to be a disadvantage. Viwandani is never a center of much exposure. So I had to try to live a life free of drug abuse, bad company and negative energy. Hardships in life were there, since my parents were not stable enough to cater for me and my sibling's interns of fees and other needs, but thanks god we managed to survive. Through U-TENA and my former primary school I got a chance to expose myself. I got the chance to interact with successful people, who became my mentors and role models. I was able to go for different science congresses where I enhanced my skills and creativity.
I was proud of myself for everything I did, and mostly for passing my KCSE and making it to the university to enroll as an engineering student. My high school life was not that easy but through WEF, I managed to stay in school and study like other students. U-TENA enhanced me with great leadership skills and motivation through talks, through the mentors I was assisted in my school work and assignment during the holidays.
My dream in life is to become a successful mechanical engineer with entrepreneurial leadership skills. I look forward to being able to give back to the community by encouraging young people like me since we are the ones to transform our community. For me to get there I must be self-disciplined and always ready to learn from others who are better than me. When I become successful I'll give my family the good life they deserve. I will give back to the community by being a pioneer of scholarships to those students who are unable to pay their school fees. I will come up with mentorship programs to mentor and encourage young people in the society. If god will help me to be that stable, I will partner with WEF and U-TENA in ensuring quality education is accessible to each student by helping them in paying their fees.
If I had power to change my country, I will first change the education system, since education is the key changing factor to development and stability. This will too change their mentality that people go to school not to become rich, but to gain knowledge and skills, and to interact with others hence enhancing their social skills and becoming great entrepreneurial leaders who will be the changing factor to the community and Africa at large.
