Recovering from KCSE my own way : After a Hurricane comes the Rainbow.

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?

You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky

Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Only my friend Rono knew what i had planned to do to myself if i were to fail KCSE. Well, i managed to fall one point short of my desired grade, thus managing the Asian's F. I really wanted to repeat form four and redo KCSE again, but my parents would hear none of it. Come on, would you allow your child to rewind high schoool with an A-? I doubt. And who am I? Asian?
As Bobby McFerrin sung, every life will have some trouble. if you worry it will make it double. I have since recovered from the shock, but my ultra ego was badly bruised. I badly needed something to boost my ego. So i decided to write a book to help others pass the exam i had failed. A series of books actually, for every examinable subject in KCSE.
Now you are probably thinking i am nuts, aren't you? But i won't be writing all the books by myself. I am gonna team up with a group of top achievers from top national schools in Kenya, and together we are gonna author those books. The publishers, Nolwan Publishers, are the ones who are gonna gather the former students of top schools.
Our series would be titled "Jibambe na KCSE." Quite a catchy title, don't you think? e the head of the writing team, and I'll write a forward for each and every book. Personally, I'll author books for Christian Religious Education, CRE. It was my favourite subject in High School (although i would scrap religious education if i were the minister for education. But that's a story for another day).
By managing to publish the series, i would have given my self-esteem a boost it really needs. Wish me luck, will you? Remember you too are a firework. You gotto let your colours shine.

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
