 Welcome back to the morning. Right about now, we're just about to get into our interest on MC. We are back never before. High school, you know, you learn some some piece of, but now in your adult years, those things, some of those things, you know, in high school, everybody has a different experience of high school. You can also see the back of a key or high school. Most importantly, if, how would you, how would you take it? I don't know how I'll take it, but. It's good. My call. As I progress through high school, the president applied for me. Me too. To the students, that kind of gave me respect. You know, being intimidated because I was saying, I did not want to find a point where they could. Because you know, you are really. But that school kind of made me to be hard. For that school, I don't believe I would be the same person. Because in as much as the conditions were not that appealing to me, or sometimes because I remember the first two years was met with me being in and out of hospitals because of the weather and all that stuff. Even the teachers. Excellent. What is your last school, which is? St. Paul's Dengar. St. Paul's Dengar Secondary School in Ugenesia County. Wow. Yes. My name is Derek Bu. If I had a chance of going back to high school, I would not go because I would drop out of school. I think that's what can happen right now because when I was in high school, I struggled to, like my hope was to rely one day, complete this journey. So going back to high school to me, I cannot go back because that is like going back to my journey to drop off from school. You know, I'm still digesting. You went through seven high schools. Which one? I find myself in the street when I was around five years. You see, you come to know who you are, how you are when you are at a certain age. So you see, I grew up in the street. That is Kisi. No one knew about that because I'm someone who always don't display the problems I'm going through. Right. So when I was in primary school, I think I was in class 1, class 2, I did class 5, I jumped to class 7. And you jumped. Because when I was in the street, I was working as a mechanic. We were in a group of kids. You see when you are a street kid. There's nothing different with a street kid who is in Kisi and a street kid who is in Nairobi. The same thing where they used the Marujuan, they used the gam, the bang. So everything is just the same. That kind of living. So I don't know. I think it is just to God. I can't say myself like that because I didn't find myself using all that. Though I participated in the morning or night when people were talking to me. So that's how I ended up doing it. I didn't know what to do. I left the employer and went to work. I spent 50 bucks for lunch. But you see, they are using your skill to gain what they want. So, yes, on my own with my thoughts and I found someone. I was always a person. I was a kid. I was a kid. Sorry for another day. But I don't. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. But I don't know what to do. So I spent 50 bucks for lunch. I was never in the middle of it. I saw it's up to me to look for. The best design I can get because not on the street, I am harsh. The simple way is to buy food and when I am 50 bucks a day maybe you will see that people are buying you food. I remember the reason why I was once in a group They go to Almali, one of those men, Mboga, our mama. So I remember one day, there was a guy who was going as a group, he was around 11, around one. We sit down, kill him until September, he went. So he was like... There was a guy who was like that, and his mama was like that, she was like that, she was like that, and she was like that. So these guys, they looked at each other when they were when they saw each other, and it all goes when they, it was all kids, they were 12 boys, they were performing, they were like that. They were like playing too. The first time I visited here, and it was when I... the foundation site opened to see me. So it goes when you're going as one. Is there no one and not someone to look after? So from then, I think I was not involved in such a thing. I didn't know anything about it. You didn't know anything about it? Yes, I didn't know anything about it. But I didn't use drugs at all. So you were not informed? Not informed. You were not informed? I was in class eight. This is class eight. So I was going to school during the day because I had not had a primary school in the village. Darajambil is a kind of village. It is not a town that much. So I was not paying that. I didn't have that. So on a part of the day, you don't attend classes. So the only thing you can do, you have friends, you have a foundation, you have a foundation. So I didn't know anything about it. So the only thing you do or you are trying to do that, please, I was in the 1500s. I was in the 1500s. Enrollment fee. I was in the 1500s. You were in the national exam. National exam case C.P. So that was my major by then. So I was in the middle of it. I was in the middle of it. I was in the middle of it. I think I can remember that case still. I was in the middle of it. It was my mentor in mechanics. So this is a day to live an ideal. This is an engine. The engine plus the gearbox, if you go to Uganda, you have to have a car. So I had to pay 50,000 and I had to pay 3,000. So I had to pay that money. I went and I enrolled. I enrolled. I performed for one. I was part of 255 marks. So late in the section of school, always when I wanted to go to school, what came to my mind first was to go to school. I was in the middle of it. Those big schools, those national schools. But I was in the middle of it. So I was in the middle of it. So when the... But now the high school part to say I enrolled for one because I believe that there is a culture shock. When I joined TV high school, I was in the boarding and primary. In the middle of it. First, I went to secondary school at the day school. So you went to day school. I was in the first grade. I dropped in third grade. I was in the second grade. So I went to school. I was in the second grade. I was in the second grade and I enrolled. So later, I was in the same grade. And I said, bro, you need to go to school. I had no potential. So I enrolled in the boys. Now, in July, in the seven high schools, I did not wear the PTA broi or striota. And I had two experiences that I had. So I said, because this is the University of Nairobi, bro. It's a very big achievement. And it's also a political science and a peer. And it's also an economist as well. Those experiences that I had, those experiences that I had with my family, I was in the middle of it. I was in the middle of it. I was an adult. I was in the middle of it. Easy, easy. What changed me? In high school, I didn't have any hardship. Okay. Because when I went to Miguro Boys, I was elected. I was appointed librarian. Okay. By the DPUT. So in high school, there was no any challenge. The only challenge I had is that I had to serve. I didn't have to be here. I left where I was going. So I had to serve. So I missed it. So it's your pocket. It's your pocket. So in short, it'll be DPU to survive some time. Yes, it will survive your struggle. But in high school, I saw that I was struggling. It will be a taboo. It will be a taboo. Nice. And a lot of the fact that you're going to University of Nairobi which is a big achievement. Let me throw it back to you, Elvis. Everyone has peer pressure, manze. You have to fit in and you mentioned you are an Irobian. Some of you have a problem. Some, same to mind. Some of you have a bad boy in Nairobi. Some of you have a bad boy in Nairobi. How was your experience for you? So first of all, in my school, Nairobi is known as failures. Some of you have failures. I don't know. In our school, we had this routine where whenever we released results, we had top 10 and bottom 10. So for top 10, For top 10, bottom 10. What I taught you earlier, we would be given gifts. But for the bottom 10, we had like an academic forest where there was a certain place that was like a kind of hill. So once you were like a bottom 10, you would be given gifts. So Nairobians are in that group that should go as far as pinpointing who you are, who you are, who you are, what you are, what you are, something like that. So there was that thing of being in discipline, in discipline in cases from people from Nairobi, no performers, you know, I laugh a lot when I go to the show. You know, Nairobians are pure, they are like a certain class. They think they're better than others. So me, when I entered school, I think also for me in my primary, I think one thing that really made me to go to that school was that the fact that I didn't perform as I expected in primary. So that was like my first result. So that if I perform well, along the, my high school, I would be taken to a better school. So I have to work hard and perform so that I can get myself out of this school. But I still was there. So for me, when I go to school, those would be a pressure of trying people on a journey. I would be on a journey, you're an European, but when you're on a journey, it's like when you're on a journey, but the fact that I was not willing to like, maybe I need to conduct myself the way they did, they saw that me and Nairobi are better than them, you know what I'm saying? So that was that thing of people feeling that I have, maybe the one thing at all in Shia Moa, I've never tried to fit in. You've never? I've never. Because I think that's a lot of pressure on me. That's a lot of struggle. Why would I try to be someone I'm not? No. I could let her some luck. It did, it did. Because being my authentic self was kind of intimidating to some people because they expected me to fold to what they wanted me to like, maybe be, but I wasn't willing to do that because my main agenda in that school was to make sure I make it. Because when I was getting into high school, total, let me be totally honest, I thought I was going to be a failure. Wow. I thought I was going to be a failure because I remember I failed, there was option of repeating, but I didn't, so I went to school, but I was the last one to be admitted in that school in first time. Because I remember when I entered, there were two weeks to the end exams. So you can imagine entering into a new school, everyone is a shakach up to there and you see the bus, you're way behind. So you don't have a direction. I want to die, man. You know, even the people you're with in class, they think, I'm going to be a failure, you know? So there's also, you're thinking you're a failure, but once I got to school, I was like, I have to say it a bit. I have to really do what has to be done to make sure I don't live to what I thought I would be and that's a failure. So for me, Niki, you know that school was a mixed school. Oh, it was a mixed school? It was a mixed school and there was that pressure. Relationship. We're also supposed to discuss about relationships. Relationship. Two, two, two, two. Because you haven't had a lesson to make it clean. I'm telling you that. Especially because from two months, every two years I moved from zero to a hundred. I'm really glad I went to a mixed school because every time we went for funkies, the way so boys conduct themselves, I don't blame them. How's the funkies, by the way? Is it my outings? Amazing. I will tell you, I went to majority of funkies because I was the type of person I didn't like to miss out. Okay. So any opportunity to go out, I will be the first. And then you want to make sure me, me as well. Drama club. Because I know a lot of people who are in art and drama club could have been at Dunday's events. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to miss out on the top of the list. Especially with music festival, I never missed even once. So it's only because I went all through then also with the YCS, the youth, whatever, for Catholics. For CU. Yeah, for CU, but I was a Catholic. So I used to go for all of those. Then there was these academic trips, and you know, up at the pavilion. They must impose yams. Yeah, I used to go for those. So it's only utilized. Because sometimes school, I wouldn't say, I like to climb to an adjoin. School was not always at the amazing. You know, sometimes, this is the funniest thing. And I'm sorry to say this on air, but I remember, at some time our school was like, it was so hard until I was told that I had to go to school for fees. I'm telling you, people would pray, God, I hope tomorrow, I'll go to school in the home. But why? But I didn't go to school, is it? I didn't go to school. I didn't go to school for a while. For my school. Life was unbearable. Because mixed, it was boarding or day school? It was boarding, both boarding and day school. So yeah, it was both boarding, but me, I opted to just board because the day school was kind of, I saw my fellow members who were like, doing the day school and it was kind of difficult for them. And you know, from where the school was, and where my home was, it was kind of a bit of a distance. So I could not manage every day in the morning. So I was boarding. I would say the school wasn't, but you know, it was not, like I told you just on my needs school, so kind of some of the resources was scarce, but it was still manageable. So I would say some, maybe the conditions there were a bit tough. You know, a lot of children, what's even better, that was, me, if I hear people, I hear even sometimes I hear my sister went to a national school, like in the kind of dad, they were, they were, they were looking for a school. I was like, hey, where did they go? Where did they go? Yeah, for us, it was called a special food. And what was the story of special food? Oh, yeah. So remember, I told you, like my first, for more informed, I was a bit sick. So throughout that process, I was diagnosed with ulcers. So I remember in our school, we had a special diet. Let me call it special diet for people who had ulcers. So I can't, usually the diet was, me, if I tell you the diet, it was a, where's your menu? And it was in Ile diet, I'm not even in the shift. In Gallemarago? O'Gallemarago. Remember, there were times you used to, I usually, when I tell people, they usually think I'm actually doing comedy. But I remember, in the Ascotian sun at lunchtime, the diet was you're supposed to take Gideri and hot porridge. Gideri and hot porridge, you only eat food at lunch. That's lunch. And Gideri was like, the norm O'Gallemarago was also the norm. So me, from when I was diagnosed, Gideri, Kando, Marago, because I was not allowed, and Skuma also was not allowed to take acidic food. So now the diet was cabbage. My friend, if you can call me a rabbit, I deserve that because I ate those cabbage. You're a senior council in the king. I ate those cabbage. But you survived, I survived. You're here, man. I survived, I survived. And you know, those moments in many phones are, you know, especially with the life, you know, they're always those moments whereby, not everything in Akujetu easily. So I think in those moments, even when I look back in many parts here, the virtue of persevering throughout difficult times in life, you know, because it was about food. Yes, it was kind of like, ah, this was not something I wanted to do. But when I kind of look it in a life's perspective, Kuna time it a fika, you'll not have everything the way you're used to. So it kind of shakes me up. Yeah, I think it's changed. You have to persevere, yes. There's always mountains and valleys. So Kuna, that aspect of persevering through sometimes hardship. And I think that's one aspect that really shaped me and also discipline in that school. Discipline. You know, schools in Nyanza. You know, when I went there, the kind of discipline, eh, it's quite... Vibhoku atamukom na pego. Vibhoku. That was... Vibhoku atamukom na pego. Even performance wise. Yeah. And on that note, how did you deal with Wali Mwena? Before I come to you, Daniel, you also answered the same question. Wali dilagina Wali Mwela ko anakubuli. And also for you, Elvis, how did you deal with teachers who are so harsh they don't want you to get below 70%. It's physics. The past marks is 75%. If you don't get that. You know, at first, I kind of... I was like, I hated that. I hated those type of teachers. But towards my form for Nkualaik, I love you. I love you because... I always try to make friends with them. Okay. When I find you are very harsh, I always... Because everyone has got a weakness. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so I always look for your weakness. And... You always have a punish punch. If you're a student, you always have a note. I always say, who are you, Daniel? Who are you? Who are you with? Who are you with? Who are you with? Mama seems to be clean. You always have a weakness. No, I think I was never found in discipline. Okay. Yeah, see... See, okay. I had my bad side. And my bad side is that when I was... When those teachers were very harsh, once I'm offended, I was very angry. So, that's why... Because my parents used to say I'm not good at speaking. So, I was like... They would say I'm bad. I didn't speak. I was like that. At some point... Then I would go... I would ask you all the letters and say, who are you with? Who are you with? Hey, you simply say, the boys are here. We end up being self-to-be-guided. That beats Abihadika here. This convert for your time, try to refer to the channel. You can find me complying in the morning. You're an amazing Monday.
