BASED ON TRUE EVENTS)
This is a story of strength, courage and an internal drive for success. ‘We believe that everyone deserves to develop their skill/gift and that no one is a failure, no matter what you scored or will score in your KCSE, that is not a guarantee that you will fail in life’ Said the director of Primax International Homecare Limited. A healthcare institute located in Kenol Murang’a town Kenya that offers courses to both form four leavers, professionals and international community with both online and in class modules.
After completing her form four education. Jane was hopeful that she would get a high grade on her KCSE. In all the four years of high school, she had managed to be number one in all the internal exams and would dream of studying medicine for 6 years at the leading medical schools in the world, complete that course and find a good job working in an operation theatre. After finding a job in the best hospitals in the world she would start performing surgeries and save lives, meet her husband in the theatre and start a fa…
These dreams were shattered after the KCSE results were announced. The dream of becoming a lead surgeon were washed down the drain. ‘When the results were announced I was so hopeful that I would score an A or A- (Minus)’ she said to our reporter. But after the message came she could not believe her eyes ‘I sent the code and waited, hopefully. The message came back and I dropped the phone.’ She continued. The look on her face could tell it all. She had gone back to that day. ‘It was a D+ (plus).’ She had never been so disappointed in her self in her life.
She had considered herself a failure. This took her into a path of self pity. Questions like what will I do with myself? Where can this D take me in future. How can I even face my parents? Will my dream of working in a theatre room ever come true? Rang in her mind day in day out.
Her parents took initiative and started consulting on solutions for her problem; feeling like a failure. Until one day on a visit to her psychologist who taught a Communication skill module at Primax International Homecare Limited in Kenol town Murang’a county suggested she try a preoperative theater/theatre course. This sparked a curiosity in her that prior to that suggestion died off into the back of her subconscious. ‘Can even do any course with this low grade?’ she started abd the psychologist’s face lit up. ‘Failure is in the mind,’ she started ‘The course admits students with a D+ and above, and you qualify very well for the course.’ She continued to explain how the course is taught, the modules and where she can work after the course.
A week later, on January 2020 she started work at a hospital in Canada. She is was exited to be working with professionals. Her story is one of mind-set change and believing in oneself. Primax international Homecare Limited does exactly that, it educates you on mind-set change and how to become the best at what you choose to be.
The Opinion of Low KCSE Scores
It can be demoralising to receive low scores on the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), particularly in light of the tendency in society to associate academic achievement with one’s own value. But it’s critical to dispel this myth and understand that a poor grade does not indicate one’s worth or likelihood of success in the future.
Reevaluating Failure
It is not always the case that receiving a low KCSE grade equates to failing. It’s a temporary setback, and with perseverance and tenacity, you can conquer the difficulty. There are many different ways to succeed in education outside of the conventional academic path, thus education is not a one-size-fits-all experience.
