Hi James! How's it going my friend? I am coming to Kenya and am hoping to be in Maai Mahiu to visit CTC on Thu Jun 20. Are you going to be around by any chance? We'd love to see you!

How is your computer science learning coming? That's such a smart thing to be studying. There are so many jobs in the US that require a background in computer science these days -- I wish I had studied that! :D

IF...
If you look back, u can see me struggling to be at my best.
If you look a head, then you can see my success.
If wen you look on you side and see me, then it means am your companion.
Thanks to the schoolfund community at large
for helping me realize that
No range should define the limit of success I can get in life.
