"My name is Damaris Kawira. I am from Maua, Meru County. I am going to tell you more about myself. This is a true story about myself. I know this will reach out to many people out there who are going through a lot, and also to the young girls out there who want to start life. I just felt I needed to talk and share this. I am tired of silent pain. I need to share and talk to the world. I am not perfect. I have made and continue to make mistakes, but I don't want anyone, not even my worst enemy, to live like me or be like me. I need someone out there to read my story.

Students from older years had warned me about my year being pretty scary, so I had prepared well and really enjoyed the first lectures from my new modules. Reconnecting with my societies was doubly fun, being the President of Comb...
"Majuu" is a sheng' word mostly used by africans which means abroad. In african's mindset, the term "majuu" symbolises success.Travelling abroad seems to be an endearing idea on the beginning of their journey to success.In reality, when one member of a family gets a job abroad, the whole community is called upon to celebrate. This african's mindset has distorted the virtue of patriotism. According to the viewpoints and ideas that I acquired from different sources, it is a clear implication that this statement is largely supported. Diana ; "Yes it is true that when one travels abroad, he or she gets to interact with different kind of people and able to get opportunities that enlighten his or her future." Erick ; " Opportunities are everywhere but in "majuu" are more since they look at your skills mostly and not level of education." The "Majuu" mentality has really detered Africans from exploring great opp...
