Name: Collins Omoti Osiemo
School: Nyamabaria Boys’ High School
Community: Withare
I am Collins Omoti, the firstborn in our family, with one younger brother. Determination and hard work have always been my core values. My parents’ eyes are always on me, believing I am the ray of hope for our family, one who will eventually lift us from rags to riches.
Football has been my favorite sport, and I find joy in the simplicity of playing it. Unfortunately, our current situation doesn’t allow us to own leather balls, but we have found a way out by making our own balls from papers and old clothes. Personally, I am a huge fan of Manchester United. I usually play as a striker and aspire to become one of the best, much like Rashford.
Becoming a medical doctor has always been my dream career. Despite hearing that it’s a challenging path, it doesn’t discourage me. I am driven by the desire to gain extensive knowledge about the human body.
Biology holds a special place for me as it plays a crucial role in pursuing my dream career. It comes naturally to me and has been my favorite subject since I joined high school.
During my leisure time, I find solace in watching movies, especially those centered on fights without exaggerated scenes. They provide companionship even when I’m alone.
My educational journey began at the age of four. According to stories from my mom, I wasn’t particularly fond of school. I completed my primary education just a year ago. My experiences in high school have been better than in primary, especially considering the daily walks to and from school.
I hail from Withare, my community, and I take immense pride in it despite its nature. As a beacon of hope, I dream of contributing to its improvement as a token of gratitude to the community.
Becoming a successful individual has always been a persistent dream for me. When I achieve that, I aim to start a scholarship program similar to the Pamoja initiative, which has supported my education.
My parents are my role models; their hard work, courage, and patience have been the driving force behind their efforts to make ends meet. I emulate their behavior in my life, aspiring to achieve my goals.
Music engulfs me, providing peace of mind and relaxation. Amapiano and drill music are my favorites, brightening my days and making me feel more relaxed.
