Let us talk school, seems like this will be subject of this blog in this last quarter of the year. And my blog has been most neglected. I am certain we would have arguments over and over if it were alive. Thank God its not, and thank God I have a platform to share my thoughts with audiences every now and then, which are most lengthy and very random. So in all honesty, I would like so much to stand before my classmates and speak my mind out just share my thoughts, but then I am not that bold. Especially this past few days I look at the politicians and think "wow, that is so bold am totally voting for you." There is obviously more than boldness to vote for and eventually we have to choose candidate anyway. Speaking of voting, I will be voting for non resident student representative today. That is the very position I would run for if I were political but I am not. Thing is, politics in school, and the sort of dedication to a society this leaders promise to offer, are a challenge. The other thing is, we all, are in college seeking a platform to show the society what we have to offer.
When you decide to take up a career, its because it will benefit you and the people around you. More so, it will develop our country. What we need is the world to know us and the immediate society to acknowledge us, then we can give and keep giving. It is not merely to join clubs in future that we go to school. So that after we have received Mugenda's 'crown' we can walk around so mightily. But we are being nurtured to bring change to our country, to bring technology to our poor people and recipes for our production. We want to live in a good society where we benefit each other. Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that we should neglect our self interest, am just saying that we should incorporate that of our society as well. We all owe duties to this country and I wish our parents emphasized patriotism the way they do success. This is how I view politicians, they are artists, and politics is their means of expression. Each one of us has his own unique way of expressing themselves, it is the essence of talent. Some can sing, others dance, some are very gifted designers, writers. All this talent means only one thing, we need motivation, training, among others, but most importantly we need a chance and time. I think this is our time. We cannot all fit in KUSA as politicians but our institution is large enough. It has more opportunities than we know, I believe this is our time. Its a chance life is offering each one of us to succeed, to be known and make a difference in our country. Let us support one another and encourage one another.
