How students can ensure decent, fulfilling tour of duty in high school

This is an epistle to the young Kenyans who wrote their national examinations at the end of Primary School in 2019. My dear children, congratulations on completion of that stretch of your journey. Let me assure you that have done well to get there. This is regardless of the grade they have given you in the recently released results.

As a parent, I know just how important it is to have a child you can hold a decent conversation with. School is meant to prepare you for that. Sometimes it is not the grade A that counts. It is often the individual that the school has shaped you into. I look forward to meeting you a few years hence. I hope you will tell me that you read this epistle and that it made a difference in your life.
