Letter to 18 year old Hilda
Its 1992...you have just turned 18 in September and soon after sat for KCSE
Limuru Girls (Chox) has been good to you
You left Chox a more confident young lady than the bewildered one who entered the brown gates 4 years earlier from Mukumu
The future is not certain - but for some reason, you are not scared of it at all
Results come out and soon, you are off to Moi University
You settle in well in Moi and make great friends - but are extremely cautious because of the near horror stories that your sister gives from Maseno university. In your eyes, Trust No One!!
1998 rolls in and you graduate and go into the Big Big World...thrust into women's rights agenda unexpectedly and this defines who you become...a crusader for the rights of girls and women.
Some things you now know for sure
- be kind to others...you don't know what people are going through
- value friendships - make time for them
- its never that serious
- no matter what happens, the day has to end, and a new day starts
- celebrate the way you want and what matters to you :)
and just like that its 2022 and you are seating here in Nairobi on a Wednesday evening with 9 friends from Chox
See God!
Onto another 30years....
In Fide Vade (In Faith We Go)
30 years flew by so fast!
