Well, I am a young and energetic man born and brought up in rural areas. In my childhood life I was taken to school just like any other chid.My parent were farmers and kept few cattle for milk and manual for cultivation. As a second born of four and the only boy in the family used to help my parents with domestic work when I am not in school. I used to help in cultivating land and rearing cattle mainly cows, goats and chicken. I finished both primary, secondary education and joined a technical institute where I got the skills and graduated with a diploma in electrical and wiring.Effotr to secure job was unsuccessful and I resulted to moving from one construction site another seeking a contract. This took sometimes until I decided to save some money and buy a few of the required electrical repair equipments. Now with my own equipments, this came as an opportunity for me to start securing contracts in new building. Today i am doing well and I love my job. This is how i overcame hardship and started my own job instead of being employed.
What is unique about the land i stay is that people help one another in times of needs. My children would like to be feed, educated ad get the skills to be productive in the society. My unique hobby is helping the needy in our society and guiding youths to have good moral behaviors’ also love watching movies and football.
Thank you.
