My time at Strathmore University was rather interesting.Starting with the so many rules of "how to dress","minimal interactions with opposite sex", "University reports sent to the guardians" etc.
Discipline was the core value l learnt in this University. We even had ethics and theology classes though not examinable. I enjoyed my theology classes with Fr Emmanuel Gonzalez especially about "Christianity and contraceptives." He was anti-contraceptives or any form of any family planning.According to what he taught us, God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it and using contraceptives its defying that command. You can only imagine the controversies it brought.
The other thing that l can't forget about Strathmore its about every student assigned a "tutor"My tutors were fine and they were both ladies.We didn't meet much but all l can remember one of them "Ms Mwagona" cautioned me about being too appealing to one of my male lecturers,and l was told if l had to see him after class for any classwork clarification l look for a female counterpart. Well,l defied that advice and have no regrets because l became one of the best students in that course "Financial Accounting". And yes that Lecturer "Nathan" was quite a charm and at some point l had a "crush" on him but it faded with time.And am glad i didn't lose my focus but l did so well and managed to complete CPA in stipulated time and Financial Accounting was my favorite.
I made friends at the university,one friendship that stood out was with "Josephine", she still is my friend.Olive,Sharon,Collins,Kuria,Sammy......the Christian union friends,we had an awesome time and we are still great friend to this day.Fr Emmanuel was a great friend too and still is,he taught me a lot about Roman Catholic doctrines,l almost converted and other related life issues.
And last but not least we are good friends with my one time crush/former lecturer Nathan to-date.
Almost forgot to mention, l would bring black-forest cake in all my birthdays to share with my friends at the University.(January 9th)
So.....my journey of doing CPA(section 1 to 6) was amazing and am blessed l did it in the best university "Strathmore".
