Mimi na hurumia hawa watu wana-graduate sasa. Na hurumia because I've been a university student. I was in JKUAT. I did mathematics and computer science. It was a pretty good course. It took a lot, actually, it demanded a lot from me, but I did it anyway. The reason why I'm not hurumia watu wana-graduate ni because a lot of people are unprepared. Like our youth, the world, they are getting into it, iko aje? Because whatever you think, the world out here, you have to magnify that by like a hundred X for you to actually understand the reality out here. For those who haven't prepared, like you didn't go to events to talk to people, you didn't meet people at other community hubs, you didn't upskill beyond the degree na kupata. The world out here is going to demand a lot more than you even gave in university. And what I pray is that you have the strength, you build the capacity for you to handle those things and that you are able to achieve the wildest dreams and imagination that you have. So, all the best and yeah, congratulations. Do not, do not go and sleep. You need to buckle up. The world out here is going to demand a lot more than what you even gave in university. And what I pray is that you have the strength, you build the capacity for you to handle those things and that you are able to achieve the wildest dreams and imagination that you have. So, all the best and yeah, congratulations.
