When I was in school that is in my secondary years also know as (shule ya upili) in my country Kenya, don’t I just love this country; I used to write articles for the school like the choral verses for music festivals, skits for drama festivals, Mashairi that used to be performed for parents during parents day or prize giving days and I really forund this intresting.
In one such ocaassion was a shairi I wrote for music festive titled malengo that was for the music festivals. This famous shairi made my school go all the way to national level. It had a story line about what most students apire while in school versus what those aspirations turn to once they are out of school.
That one shairi gave me motivation and I would write endlessly until I was out of school. Going throuhg my Colleges wasn’t any different, my writing continued until I came across a friend who introduced me to blogging. At first this seed to be a hard nut to crack but I managed to venture in to it just recentlywhen Covid 19 struck and there was nothing one would do apart fron sitting in the house doing nothing. One day as I was wondering what to do with my time, something hit my head and I decided to create a blog.
