Part 12

I was to find out for myself an institution for learning in the city and without knowing the financer. I woke up early in the morning so that I could get to the city to begin researching. The main reason of waking up early was to get a ride from my in law while going to job. He had a personal van which him and my sister used to go with . The breakfast was ready prepared by the house girl, I hurriedly took the breakfast to avoid being the delay.

While I was sitting waiting for them to be ready, my sister asked, what’s your plan today? I said slowly I wanted to accompany you to the city where I will be doing my research for the institution for learning. She said slowly in a manner all the words came out clearly and I understood.City is a busy area, you have to be knowing exert place you’re heading, secondly do you have bus fare to and fro . She finished by saying why not begin with here surrounding institution and know the courses offered? I told her right sister I will begin with the institutions nearby but remember I don’t know any Iam new to the area. I said that to avoid more talks and delay for them to job. I took a deep breath then I moved towards the bedroom.

I heard her calling the maid to open the gate. I relaxed in the room until midday when I decided to go out and have a survey us a man . It was a small town so you can easily read the billboard know the various institutions around. I needed business institution so I got two colleges took the catalogue to show my sister and get the advice.

I showed my sister the catalogues and she proposed I should go to kenya polytechnic to do more research but I didn’t know the reason behind it.I didn’t know where it was.

The second day of going for research I delayed waking up early in the morning to give them peace of mind. I thought it was wise to work out alone to ensure the house is in peace. I heard my little savings. I prepared myself went to the bus stop I had learnt of it yesterday to go to kenya polytechnic. Immediately I got inside the bus I told the conductor drop Kenya poly then I took my sit.

I was dropped at a place where I couldn’t know to go right or left but luckily I saw a bill board and sign board, Loh! learning reading is got in life daily activities. I moved swiftly towards the gate . Security guard was there but I monitored he has no issues with those going inside or coming out. So I went inside, the first building was written Library. To remove the panic mode I went inside to the library and moved around reading the books. A man came across me, greetings then we introduced to each other. It was a game changer. I was directed to the customer services where I acquired the school requirements for admission. I was so happy us my day ended well.Remember the business I left and there was no communication that time.

I learnt so much alone for short time in the city and I could go to town with easy. It was one evening while watching the news my sister narrated, I have talked with mum about your studies she will let you know tomorrow prepare yourself you will be travelling to your sister in Machakos.
