As I reminisce about my visit to Njabini town, my heart is filled with nostalgia and a longing for the simpler times. The lush green vegetation, the cool weather, and the nice ambiance of the town captured my heart at once. It was during a Kenyatta day long holiday that I had come to visit my brother, and little did I know that this trip would change my life forever.
As I arrived, the boys welcomed me with open arms and took me on a tour of the school. My brother had requested me to carry floaters for swimming, and so the boys accompanied us to Sasumua dam, against the school rules, for an afternoon swim across the dam. It was a daring activity, but the thrill of it was unforgettable. Looking back, I realize that some of these illegal activities taught me to take risks and live life to the fullest.
To my surprise, the boys allowed me to stay with them throughout the long weekend, and I had a lot of fun and learned a lot from them. The Principal or teachers had no problem with my presence, and I felt like part of the NBHS community. I made a lot of friends, and these friends became my strong network when I later joined the school. It taught me the power of networking and how important it is to have a support system.
When I was admitted to the school, I got a down with the form 2s, which was unusual as I never shared a dormitory with my classmates until I was in form 4. This early exposure and association crafted my early skills on survival and leadership. The memories of those days are etched in my mind forever.
As I recall the small petrol station that was in the grey building in the background, I am reminded of the beautiful memories of friends I made and a time well spent in Njabini. It was a simpler time, a time when life was not complicated, and the beauty of nature was all around us. I long for those days, and I hope to visit Njabini town again someday, to relive those beautiful memories.
