Today, the AYES team animated the Parochial School with which they share the same building. The focus today was "Knowing Myself, Making Difference." Class 6-8 took part in the one hour session and expressed appreciation for the session.
Winfred Njoki and Penuel Gathecere, the head girl and head boy, described the session saying, 'The session was good, fun and educative."
It is not possible to make a difference in the world if you don't know who you are and are not in control. Self awareness means that one gets to know who he or she is, all the blessings that God has given him or her and stating what one wants his or her life to stand for, what he or she wants to accomplish and the contribution that he or she will make in the world.
Socrates would say, 'A life not examined is not worth living.' We at AYES can only hope that the Students of Parochial School, Nairobi have taken time to reflect on the lives and are now capable of being masters of their lives.
As one famous pundit said, 'I do not know the formula for success, but I do know the formula for failure; follow the crowd' He who does not know himself or herself, cannot but identify himself or herself with the mindless and thoughtless crowd.
