High School Memories

My name is Evaline Mbua from Kibichoi Kiambu county.I completed class eight in the year 2010 and joined Kagumo Girls Secondary in Kirinyanga county.I had a privellege to interact with people from different tribes and counties.In form one I was very naive.When we broke for midterm in the first term my dad came to pick me because I was afraid of getting lost since I was in a county that had not been there before.Also while coming back from the midterm break he had to drop me.

The year went on smoothly and I was promoted to the next class,that is,form two.The first term is where my indiscipline cases started.My name couldn’t miss in the list of noisemakers and for this I did various punishments like carrying heavy logs,scrubbing the pavements and mopping the dinning hall.The second term i was able to sneak in with a phone which I was using at night together with my bedmates.After using it for a while our names were presented to the principal where we were suspended for two weeks and after coming back we were given a punishment to wash the school cowshed and take the manure to the school’s farm.We scrubbed the shed thoroughly and once we were done called the principal to clear us.We stayed the whole day smelling manure.It had reached a point where I could meet with the deputy and she could always tell me to see her.We were banned to wear jumpers so we had to break the class ceiling where we could always hide them after cleaning in the morning,I also had home clothes with me where we could sneak out of school during the night.We were once caught by the watchman and once he asked our names we lied to him names such as Bunsen burner,parenchyma e.t.c

Lastly in the last term my friends planned a strike and since we were always together I was counted in the mix where we were all suspended for good.
