A Story about Me
My name is Dennis I was born in 1989 in Nakuru. I was a happy and healthy child. Pampered and loved by my parents. I am the 4th born in the family of 6. Most of my childhood, I grew up thinking that everything was about me. I was a bully; I stepped on those who were weaker than me. The other children were afraid of me, I just loved the power.
When I was 12 years old, my world was turned upside down. My dad died whom I had never seen but heard of him, he lost his life in an clear circumstances. Then everything went downhill. I was forced to live with my mother and brothers in our mother’s house.
In school I was totally impossible, I never did my homework. And didn’t listen to what the teacher said. I found it hard to concentrate. The teachers hated me and I didn’t have any friends at all. It's not because, I didn’t want to have some people around me. I just had a hard time trusting others and express my feelings.
I didn’t get a good education when in high school. After my fourth form, I went to Eldoret and I got a job at a Cyber café in town, and saved money for a small business someday. While working, I had to attend part time classes in a college to study things in computer, I had to depend on the government funds, reason for for working and attending classes is because I wanted to depend on my own.
Generally in my life, I had a feeling that my family didn’t really care about me. I was a burden. I became more and more isolated; I spent most of my time alone, above all I had confidence in myself.
Just the other year I sat down and looked back at my life and had no idea what useful things I did in life. You know what, I had to pray to God for guidance and to open my mind and with the little savings I made, I did buy two computers, a printer and a photocopier, thank God this is what has been feeding me,
As of now, I want to expand my business and return favours to my mum for taking care of me during my childhood and with Zidisha , I know my business will come and prosper so I can give back to the community through my service to all in the field of computing.
In conclusion , what I have learnt in my life is to Make every day count. To Appreciate every moment and to take from those moments everything that I possibly can for I may never be able to experience it again. I Talk to people that I have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say…i.e the Zidisha Team.
Life has challenges, I acknowledge that, because the challenges and changes will only help me to find the goals that I know are meant to come true for me.
