| ....And every minute counts |
As I enter the eighth grade classroom, I am greeted by a
dead silence. My presence in the class has not been recognized by almost half
the class. These young boys and girls are digging deep into their books for all the information they consider might help them pass the forthcoming national
exam, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE).
At the corner of the black chalkboard in front of the classroom, a
big notice screams ‘39 DAYS TO GO’. I observe the serious faces in front of me
once more and I understand the reason behind these looks. Over the past few weeks
preparations have been intensified. The take-test anxiety reigns supreme and
the candidates are very confident-they are up to the task and ready for the coming
challenge.
“It has been eight
long years and it is time to shine. With this kind of preparation, success is
surely in the offing,” says Quinter, one of the candidates.
Going by the words of Robert Collier -success is the sum of small
efforts, repeated day in and day out, I am really convinced that these
young boys and girls are headed the right direction. It is our sincere prayer
that their efforts do not go in vain.
