| Winners of the 'Strathmore Transforming Africa through leadership' essay competition |
|
In his essay, Ndwiga describes the University as one of the most ideal places where one is molded in an all-round manner, the rendezvous for the next African-transforming leaders.
Atlanta was proverbial. She started her essay thus: "If someone offered to give you a dress," an African proverb goes, "first look at how they are dressed." I want to be a leader and I chose to be taught by a leader. Strathmore University is an eminent leader: it has an impressive and vast potential to transform Kenya as well as Africa.
Cynthia wrote that Strathmore is an emerging lighthouse of Kenya - the hub and the heart of university education. She echoes unity, "That all may be one."
Jane was philosophical. She wrote: Napoleon Bonaparte famously said: "A leader is a dealer in hope". Leadership in Kenya and Africa as a whole is wanting but Strathmore University instills hope.
Pauline concluded: I would summarize by giving gratitude to Strathmore for shaping my way of thinking. It feels like I was a regular pot which has been remodeled and decorated to be a beautiful artwork excited to meet the business world upon my graduation come 2011. Its my hope that many young people will have access to Strathmore University.
