A path of uncertainty stood before me
A plethora of challenges barricading my way
A wall of diseases and dangerous predicaments stood on my path
An ‘unnatural' reality for every African child
Against all odds, my life was spared
Untouched by the hands of poverty
Untainted by marauding diseases
Uncompromised by the lack of resources
Unchallenged in its path to victory
Against all odds, my life pushed through the thick smog of uncertainty
Opening a channel of hope among my tribe
Education was my weapon of choice
Perseverance was my motto
Excellence my desire
Against all odds, I ploughed through unchartered territories
Sowing seeds of hope among the hopeless
Opening new avenues of passion
Dissecting the unprinted stories of legends
My life became a template for success
My childhood was 100% trial and error
