Experiences that I had early in life when I was still young were mostly about family conflicts, where mom and dad used to argue and fight almost every day which eventually led to them being divorced. This affected me and left fear in me and traumas like PTSD. I've always wished that there's something I could do to bring peace to our family and make our family whole again. However, people like my grandmother have always supported her emotionally and anywhere else where they could.
The most difficult experience I had in my life was being sent home to fetch school fees for clearance, during my last days to kcse. This was so difficult that while other students were seriously revising for their exams, I found myself home waiting for whatever miracle which could have gotten me back to school. The U-tena Organization supported me where they could but still, I had to clear the balance I had. I would cry day and night and pray hoping and believing that miracles still exist. I know that this sounds insane. One day I received a call from the school informing me to get back to school and revise with the other students though it had left only few days ahead. I did my best and eventually emerged with a B+ of 72 points. Remembering this keeps me going, makes me believe that no matter how hard the situation is I'll always find my way out.
The moment when I really felt proud of myself was during my kcpe and kcse results revelation. Despite all the difficulties and struggles I had been through, I still managed to get the average marks
and grades respectively. Even though I knew to myself that that was not exactly what I wanted, I still felt proud of myself.
The happiest thing and memorable thing in my life that happened was the day I set foot in high school. Coming from a poor background made me think that primary was the last education level I had achieved. People had also said about it that I would not go any further, especially at my mother's side since the highest level of education they had managed was primary. However, there was still a part of me that still believed that it was far from where I was heading and I was going to make it out. However, that day we had to go back home again so as to make enough capital since for anyone to get admitted you had to clear everything needed.
The dream that I have is to become a surgeon and get a good job at last, make my family live a good life and have everything that I've always wished to have. Even though right now I am pursuing Nursing, I still want to advance to my dream career after the term and I believe I will go further despite all the school fees struggles. I do not know how I am actually going to get there except that I believe that I will always get the help I need to make it there. I am still hoping that you will support me and walk with me until I don't need your support anymore, that is when I will be able to stand for myself, and if given the chance I will do what is expected of me.
I have a lot of things that I would want to do to help. First, I will have my family live the best life. I would start a business for my parents, buy them land and build for them and even for my grandmother who has always supported me. I'm looking forward to improving her life. I will also help in educating my siblings, making sure that they do not go through what I had. I will help my needy relatives where I can. I will have funds donated to the orphanages and even those struggling in the streets. Lastly, I will want to be part of the beneficiaries in WEF and contribute in everyday I will have to.
