  A thrilling Day in My Life      The sun peeks over the horizon, casting its first rays on my world below. The day had started, and with it I saw a promise of endless possibilities. For me, it’s a rush against the clock. I had slept late the previous night and waking up was a task. I snoozed the alarm countless times. This particular day, I barely had time to stretch or even enjoy a few minutes to myself.

I am excited to let you in on what goes through my mind, thinking out loud. Writing, reading, and being on the spot have always been something that I love. As a young girl, I remember reading newspapers in the living room or the kitchen sometimes as my mum was cooking. With writing, I remember writing exemplary compositions in school. It never dawned on me that I would be in love with writing. To me, it was just something I was expected to do. I needed the grades; the only way to do that was by getting high scores on subjects I genuinely loved. And I got that. The grades got me admitted to high school, Maai Mahiu Girls. Not your ordinary school, but I will tell this story in consequent blogs. A month in, I joined the journalism team. There had been eight parade sessions, and the journalism girlies enticed me. I remember being super exci...
