EVERYONE IS IMPORTANT



During Mark's first month of college, the professor gave his students a pop quiz. He was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until he read the last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. He had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would he know her name? He handed in his paper, leaving the last question blank.
Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward the quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, you will meet many people. All are significant. They each deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'". Mark never forgot that lesson. He also learned her name was Dorothy.

The obstacle in our path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the stone out of the way.
Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. After the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway.
The peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve our condition.

NAIROBI GIRL WHO IS 16 YEARS AND DRIVES 3 LUXURIOS CARS DENIES INFECTING NAIROBI MEN WITH HIV

Nairobi girl denies infecting men with HIV

Vannessa Cherutto, whose name has been trending on social media for the wrong reasons, has denied claims that she is a 16-year-old famme fatale who dates an 80-year-old white man, infects Nairobi husbands with HIV and stars in sex orgies in the city. 

Terming the stories as ‘malicious,’ Vannessa who drove to our offices in a brand new Subaru to set the record straight, said she is a 19-year-old sales consultant with a leading firm in town, and that she is currently studying for a diploma in Business Management. “I am not dating an 80-year-old mzungu. I work so hard for my money, and I use it to pay my school fees and bills,” she clarified. 

Vannessa was alerted of the story doing round in blogs by her boss at the firm where she works. “She called me on Friday evening. It was Valentines Day, and she told me to read the story. I saw it and broke down. I cried. My love life is no one’s business,” said Vannessa. Explaining that her Subaru was bought by her fiancĂ©e, and that she also owns Toyota Vitz bought by her father, she agreed that she dates a mzungu boyfriend but he isn’t 80 years old. “He actually laughed so hard when he read the story. My father was not happy, but he told me that the issue will blow over,” says Vannessa. 

“They said I was having unprotected sex with celebrities like Ephie Saint, yet I don’t even know that guy. I just want to apologise to my friends Shaffie and Nick Mutuma because some idiot dragged their names into this mess,” says Vannessa who lives in Valley Arcade. After the Hiv rumors surfaced, Vannessa went to a VCT centre and then posted her status on Facebook for all to see. 

She is negative. She also got tested on video which she uploaded on a gossip website. She now plans to raise awareness on cyber bullying, and to form a unit that will counsel and aid victims. “I am a strong woman, I was raised by a single parent– my father. I will weather through this storm and come out stronger. I want to set up a support group for victims of cyber bullying,” she said.
