Last Friday, thousands of University of Nairobi graduands were awarded certificates of merit after successfully completing their university education. Among the many thousands, Cristine Nzilani Mbai was a proud young lady after being named the valedictorian of the graduation ceremony as she had emerged the Best Overall Student.
Miss Mbai came from the Department of Architecture & Building Science and according to her lecturer, she got a perfect score in her course. Elated by the sweet success, below is a message she penned down.
“Today we stand well equipped to join the job market, having been though the best university in Kenya. We must believe in ourselves, be decisive, apply the knowledge acquired effectively in whatever next we chose to pursue. Let each of us have conviction of our goals and career paths, embarking on them with tenacity all the way. We must never give up at the first sigh of defeat;Let us always seek to rise above the mundane. We are good enough, Smart enough and strong to serve. Having come this far, feat it is, nonetheless, we are not yet in our destinies. Let us not lose sight of what we aspire to be, choose to be motivated and manipulated, useful not used, for the Knowledge have is potential.”
