My family has lived through poverty for as far as I remember. My parents did everything in their means to take me to quality schools, hoping that I would be a great success and change the family status. It never happened, as I did not pass the standardized advanced level exams and could not get a scholarship to proceed to the University. My parents did not have the confidence to tell me that they did not have money for fees, but through the silence, I saw their pain. I had an opportunity to join SINA. I have used this opportunity to equip myself for my success and support those many Ugandans with similar pain.
I have experienced a lifetime at Sina. Most importantly, I have learned that I can create anything and become anyone I want. SINA has given me the space for self-exploration, making mistakes, and, most importantly, learning from them. One key realization is that I was born for a reason: for a greater good.
