Doris and Shay have both finished their exams today.
Glory be to God!
After four long years of joys, pain and in some
cases, misery, Doris was finally through with her maroon school uniform and
made a beeline for my place just before the rains started. What happened is
history. Shay on the other hand wasn’t around since she must have packed up and
left for her mother’s place in western.
Away from her, the nation woke up to the shameful
clip of Ambira High School students hurling obscenities while burning their
academic books. I won’t say anything about the burning of books because
everyone did it-including this writer so there was no big deal about it.
But bragging to all and sundry about cheating in the
exams and not getting caught and other destructive things you did last year
while recording and posting the clip on social media is not cool. Remember that
this is the same school that had arson cases reported. Now the DCI will
investigate you, KNEC will mark your papers strictly and you might get bad
school leaving reports.
What Next?
What next? That was what Doris had asked me during
supper. I promised her that I will get some of the answers for her and here
they are.
·
Get a Job- This will keep you busy and
earn you some coins. Though it won’t be easy now especially during this Jubilee
joke of a regime.
·
Stay out of trouble-Don’t test the penal
codes like those Ambira boys. Don’t steal, kill or fight cops. Courts are
remanding people for as long as they can and are demanding high bond fees.
·
Don’t talk about the exam-You didn’t do
question three in biology? No problem, just don’t talk about the exam. It is
over. Gone. Doing so will make you anxious.
·
Go to church-Pray to God to give you
strength to endure the work, anxiety and tough times that will lie ahead. You
will need it.
·
Stay alive-Young people are dying like
flies today. Maybe it’s the sedentary lifestyle coupled with drugs, alcohol or
irresponsible sexual behavior premised on the YOLO philosophy. Don’t be stupid.
It’s no use dying now yet you have a long enviable life ahead.
·
Avoid politics- Don’t go into rallies or
be their errand boy or girl. These dogs don’t give a shit about us-you
included. Remember rule number one and five.
