Love it very inspirational we also went to Kilimani, St George’s and Nairobi Primary. I am glad our parents were thoughtful of our academic excellence. We have successfully made it in life.
I attended Nyeri Primary school back when it was a school for the who is who in Kenya. I can relate to Alex's story: I too learnt resilience and sticking to my lane from a very early age.
The story was kind of all over the place. Didn't really get what part of your life story was in tandem with the "Stick to your lane" theme. It was interesting though.
For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure. And therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face. The by-standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend's parlour. If this aversation had its origin in contempt and resistance like his own, he might well go home with a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the college. It is easy enough for a firm man who knows the world to brook the rage of the cultivated classes. Their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid as being very vulnerable themselves. But when to their feminine rage the indignation of the people is added, when the ignorant and the poor are aroused, when the unintelligent brute force that lies at the bottom of society is made to growl and mow, it needs the habit of magnanimity and religion to treat it godlike as a trifle of no concernment.
