A true-life journey of struggle, hustle, and hope. From school life in Titimet to searching for work in Kakamega and completing training at SESD, this story follows a young man chasing his dream of becoming an engineer.
Chapter 2: Struggle in Kakamega
After completing my studies, I thought life would quickly change for the better. I had dreams, energy, and hope. But reality was different.
When I arrived in Kakamega County, I started searching for a job. I went from place to place, asking for opportunities, but most doors were closed. Life in the town was not easy. Every day felt like a battle for survival.
There were moments I felt discouraged, but I reminded myself why I came there-to build a better future.
Eventually, I found small opportunities and began hustling. I worked hard even when the pay was low. At one point, I earned only 4,500 per month. It was not enough, but it taught me something very important-how to survive with dignity and discipline.
Even with challenges, I kept learning. I met different people, saw different lifestyles, and understood that success does not come easily. It requires patience, sacrifice, and consistency.
Deep inside, I never lost my dream of becoming an engineer. Even when life was difficult, I held onto that vision. It was the only thing that kept me moving forward.
Kakamega was not just a place of struggle-it was a place of learning.
And I was still not done yet.
