Clare and Michael are two exceptional students from this year’s graduating class. Clare joined Ngong Road Children’s Foundation in 2012, while Michael joined in 2014. Both have excelled in their exams and have secured spots at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology [JKUAT], one of Kenya’s prestigious universities. Clare is a dedicated student with a passion for research and was the top female student in the program. She enjoys spending time with friends who share her interests. Inspired by Refa, a professional in Human Resource Management, she plans to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in the same field to create a conducive work environment and help individuals reach their full potential. Apart from academics, Clare finds comfort in swimming and traveling, and she would like to one day travel to Paris.
On the other hand, Michael was the top male student. He loves watching documentaries and programming during his free time. A natural leader, he was the school captain and always at the top of his class. His role model is Simon, the managing director at DirectEd, who helps young people through coding. Michael was among the chosen few who proceeded to DirectEd’s main coding boot camp, and he says this would be a great boost in the course he will take, which is a degree in Computer Science. Michael also enjoys dancing, which brings him joy and relaxation.
Both Clare and Michael embody the spirit of well-rounded individuals. Their dedication to academics, along with their diverse interests and extracurricular activities, paints a bright picture for their futures. As they embark on their university journeys, their stories serve as an inspiration for others to pursue both academic excellence and their passions. Remember, success isn’t just about grades, but about finding your purpose and using your talents to make a difference.
