MENTALITY

I was only 14years old when I moved in to live with my parents with my younger siblings in Kibera. I am now turning 19 years and almost done with high school. I have noticed that girls around my community get married or drop out of school and do evil things or just try to compete with other girls to get that one certificate "pregnancy''. I won't deny the fact that I have 5 friends, 2 of whom are pregnant, 1 is married, 1 is loitering around with boys and the last one is convinced that she wants to do something with her life.

The reason for all this, if asked, is ''POVERTY'': will poverty be a stambling block for the girls?NO! Idon't agree at all. This is just a mentality girls have so they forget to think positively and utilise the better part of themselves. They tend to forget that they can make it in life, be the leaders that we want. This can be done, for example by emulating the women who have suceeded in life like Martha Karua, Carolyne Mutoko et cetera. I know and believe that girls can make it in life if they just get the mentorship.
