WHO I AM
Hello, everyone! My name is Isaac Manyi, and I am a proud Kenyan boy from the vibrant Abagusii community. I was born and raised in the bustling city of Nairobi. Growing up in this dynamic urban environment has shaped me into an adaptable and resourceful individual. I am passionate about technology and enjoy exploring new gadgets and software in my free time. Additionally, I have a keen interest in soccer, which I play regularly with my friends. These interests reflect my curious and active personality.
My Heritage and Roots
My roots lie in the rich cultural heritage of the Abagusii community. The Abagusii are known for their deep respect for traditions and strong family values. Our community places great emphasis on hard work, education, and respect for elders. Traditional music, dance, and storytelling are integral parts of our culture, serving as a way to pass down wisdom and history from one generation to the next. The influence of my heritage has instilled in me a strong sense of identity and pride.
Family Stories and Traditions
Family is at the heart of who I am. One of my favorite family traditions is the celebration of "Ekerubo," a harvest festival where we come together to give thanks for the bountiful harvest. This festival is marked by vibrant music, dance, and feasting on traditional foods like "matoke" (plantains) and "omogusi" (millet porridge). A cherished family story is about my grandfather, who was a renowned storyteller in our village. His tales of bravery and wisdom have always inspired me and reinforced the values of courage and integrity.
Personal Journey and Milestones
My personal journey has been shaped by several significant milestones. Growing up in Nairobi, I attendedSt, Mary's Academy, where I developed a love for learning and excelled academically. One of my proudest achievements was winning a regional science fair with a project on sustainable energy solutions. This experience ignited my passion for technology and innovation. Another key milestone was my involvement in a community service project, where we organized clean-up drives and environmental awareness campaigns. These experiences have taught me the importance of giving back to the community and striving for positive change.
Looking Forward: My Future Aspirations
Looking ahead, I have big dreams and aspirations. My ultimate goal is to become a tech entrepreneur, developing innovative solutions that address pressing issues in our society. I am particularly interested in creating affordable and sustainable technologies to improve living standards in underprivileged communities. My heritage and identity as a member of the Abagusii community play a significant role in shaping these aspirations. The values of hard work, perseverance, and community service that I have inherited drive me to make a meaningful impact. I am excited about the future and eager to see where this journey will take me.
Thank you
