Family Background: Nine members
Age: 23 years

First of all, I was born at western part of Kenya, being a family of nine members in conjunction with my mom and dad. I being the last born in my family.

Secondly, congratulations goes to my parents who brought us up and took the responsibility of looking after us. I attended both my primary and secondary education at my village place where I was born. My parents managed to take all of us to school.

Thirdly, things turned out to be tuff when it came to taking us to secondary school. Of which, my parents could only afford my school fees for my progress to secondary levels. It was so done simply because my dad had retired from his job by that time. But my sister and brother could understand the situation very well.

Sometimes I was forced to stay at home due to school fees, but my parents worked more extra hard to make sure that I continue with my education until I could finish my education. In that process I couldn’t lose hope because I knew what I wanted to do or be after my education. I only believed in my God because for all things were possible to him. I have done computer course of which it was incomplete due to lack of capital. I would like to finish it in case I get support from someone.

Lastly, soccer has been my favourite game since I started playing it at primary school. It has ever since helped me to cope with difficult situations, made me flexible, socially and physically fit.
