My Name is Gregory Kimani , am a young lad , brought up in a family of seven and the second born,i come from a middle class family in Africa and wish to become independent as i completed university education on April 2013 and graduated on December .I have all along been chipping in to help my parents sponsor my education throughout my education period into university through community work and through working during vacations , this has inspired me develop simple projects to sustain me in school always.In addition , i engage myself in income generating activities in order to meet the challenging life and that's why i started compiling articles related to my field of work (History) and then selling them to other institutions.Presently, i have embarked on agribusiness as i also study in school pursuing public policy and administration ,while studying i also engage in voluntary work where we are trained to educate the society on gender sensitivity,gender policy,gender based violence,drug and substance abuse.
Having completed university, i previously worked as a teacher under the board of governors in Muruaki Boys School at Nyandarua South District. There i had a teaching experience of both History and Swahili. Owing to students low self esteem i decided to engage on mentor-ship for high school students through their principals on careers, success, responsible living ,discipline and academic excellence at an affordable price. This helps the students to academically perform better than they were previously doing as well as raising their self esteem and hence impacting positively to the society where we have low levels of school drop outs ,students who have a hope and goals set.I am passionate public speaker and though i had few people to motivate me or act as role models, i decided that i was going to change the society by mentoring students in high school and lower schools.
Upon visiting a school, i request a sum of 30-40 dollars,as an appreciation fee and because it is not for commercial purposes. The profits received assist me in financing my postgraduate education which i undertake on a part-time basis.
I would wish to use the loan plus my personal savings to acquire a higher Epson printer that will enable me earn partime income while I work at evenings and also during weekends. I have experience on online research and with this i can start with my friends in the university where i will be doing research for them. I am also conversant with graphic design therefore able to design personalised cards, business cards etc. I own a digital Camera and a Samsung smart phone which i feel I can explore more to earn more income. Occasionally I may also take photographs which I will able to charge for. with this i will have a possibility of establishing a business in a premises to actualize my plans.
