                                                             This is My Story:Part 1  Early School Life through War!!! Once upon a time!! Haha. Well, the story of my life is a very long one. Today is the beginning of a series of "My Story" that I will keep writing when I have the opportunity. Its a reflection on my early school life.  My education journey began in the mid-1980s, a time when resources were scarce and instability was all too common. I remember writing on the ground because we had no books and no chalkboards for our teachers to use. When it rained, we huddled under a muddy shelter. Lunch was unheard of—during breaks, we would wander to nearby homes of our classmates, hoping to find jackfruit hanging from the trees.  My early memories of school are few, but what followed has left a lasting imprint.  As...

  This is My Story: Part 2   "My Life After the War" In the first part of "This is My Story," I shared glimpses of my early school life amid war. Today, I continue with the second chapter, “My Life After the War.”  When I look back, I realize that the effects of the war gave birth to a deep desire for something different. Join me as I further reflect.  When we returned from exile, we found our home destroyed—burned down and overgrown with bush.  For months, we were hosted by neighbors as my father worked to rebuild our lives. He managed to construct a small hut, but it was so tiny that only my parents could sleep inside. I had to find shelter with different neighbors for quite some time. Life was unbearably difficult.  Before the war, farming was not just our  source of income—it was how we fed ourselves and made any income.  The war disrupted everything, leaving us without food. Thankfully, some neighbors who hadn’t been chased away took pi...

This is my Story: Part 3 "Beyond the Village: A Journey for Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding."

  In my last two episodes, I shared my childhood experiences first, during the war and after the war.   Today, I'll continue with the third episode, "Beyond the Village." With no high school near me, it was time to leave home and head to the nearest "big town," Jinja, Uganda. I had never imagined myself in a big town before. Jinja, an industrial hub, was unlike anything I had known. After enrolling in high school, I needed to find somewhere to stay. I ended up sharing a small hut with a classmate who had already rented it. I remember looking up at night and seeing the sky and moon through the roof. We had to sleep in shifts because there wasn't enough room for both of us simultaneously. As hard as life was in my village, I missed it. (This is one of my first ever pictures taken)!!!!!!  Back to the story!!  To make ends meet, I worked to pay for my school fees, accommodation, and food. I enrolled in a carpentry apprenticeship and worked with a carpenter, d...
