For years bad academic grades have been associated with failure. But this is no longer the case. This notion has been disabused by a number of celebrities. Their successful lifestyles is proof that no matter how low our grades are, it’s not the end of the world.
Take Maina Kageni for instance. After completing his high school at Laiser Hill, a former car delear and KTN news anchor, Maina Kageni flew to the UK for his college education. He however did not register in college and started working as a truck driver and fish distributor for some Chinese firm.
When his mother went for his graduation, she was shocked to find out her son’s name was not on the list of graduands. She left a very disappointed woman and warned him not to step his foot in Nairobi.
Lucky for Maina, life turned out just fine as he now leads a lavish lifestyle, drives sleek cars and wines and dines with the who-is-who. In addition, the Classic FM breakfast show host holidays in luxurious cities worldwide.
“Life offers great opportunities. You learn lessons that no school can ever teach you,”
He said.
Meanwhile, Pastor Kanyari declared on TV that he is a form two dropout. The pastor, famous for his ‘310 panda mbegu,’ runs a very successful ‘ministry’ and is living larger to the point of moving around in a Range Rover Sports. What he lacks in his academics, he makes up for in charisma.
Lack of degree hasn’t stopped him from seeking and seizing lucrative opportunities. Even a failed mastery of English is no match to his successful ‘gospel empire.’
Another brilliant dropout is DJ Kaytrixx. Having scored a B- in KCSE at Allidina Visram High, Kaytrixx joined Moi University hoping to graduate with a degree in engineering. He, however dropped out after three years to pursue a career in dejaying.
“My mind was always set on deejaying and felt like school was a waste of my time. The whole school process was slowing me down. I wanted to make money.
He said.
From earning sh200 a night at Moi University local club house, the KTN straight up resident DJ now charges between sh60,000 to sh120,000 a night. He is however planning on going back to school.
You can always fake it until you make it. Let nothing hinder you from achieving the life you desire
