I question myself on how I would be able to change certain things in my society, give my input or help the people who do not have a voice. And this is how my passion for Political Studies started. Initially,I did not always have an interest in Political studies, never paid much attention to it or even considered it as a career choice. However, slowly as the years went by, I started paying more attention to the things that were going on around me, taking advantage of the political situation in Kenya that is intensifying by the day. Watching the news daily grew into a habit, feeding my desire to be more aware of the political and economic state of the country, secretly weighing in my own thoughts and opinions about matters, which I would later discuss with a few of my classmates. While in year eight, I decided to join a simple class debate for the first time, I was evidently not the best debater; lacking the self-confidence to face my opponents, lacking the relevant points, but this did not stop me from trying. From then on, I occasionally participated in weekly debates, and this proved to be one of the best decisions I have ever made! My confidence grew with each debate, and by year ten, I was not only the best debater in class but was also awarded the best debater in the whole entire school. This helped me develop my leadership, communication, creativity and problem-solving skills. The idea of speaking and standing for what I believe in, gives me thrill and joy. I am aware that studying Political studies would not be an easy task but regardless, I am determined to push myself and achieve the best, as I am full of passion, confidence and motivation. Being a Political studies student entails a lot of reading, which just happens to be one of my hobbies. I am always excited to read about history and topics that leave me thinking, wondering what I would have done in that position, and putting myself in either situation. Being a historian was one of the best things about school for me, because I got to read a lot about the history of the world, how political decisions were made and study the different point of views from different people. These enhanced my analytical abilities and logical reasoning, making me a more critical thinker. Aside from studies, I have always had passion for music; being appointed chairperson of the music club also helped me develop my leadership and creativity skills, and as a member of the school band I develop my team working and organizational skills. Whereas being an athlete, taught me more about being a team player and having sportsmanship. After high school, I decided to take a gap year, because it would help me grow into my own person, being able to work independently, solving my own problems, making my own decisions without the influence of others. The idea of being able to stand up for myself and others, and learning more about psychology and history, motivates and draws me more to a career as an attorney.
