Strathmore University experience.

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".

So now after completing my registration with Kasneb l started my classes at Strathmore University.Before joining l had to do entrance exams which l did well and was admitted.My first day was very exciting,l was so optimistic about it.
The funniest part was that,l came with a complete geometry set.....and no calculator.....

I still remember to this day when l was registering for CPA exams with Kasneb. l almost missed out the last day because one of my referees had not certified her photos and she had gone for training ....Karen....getting there was a hustle by itself as they are rarely public means of transport going there....but l managed to get her....after walking miles and miles.....and after she certified them l had to get back to KASNEB offices and the time for closing their offices was almost.....so l did something very risky for a college gal.....l asked for a ride from a stranger and it turn out well.....he dropped me in the KASNEB offices and l managed to register....believe you me.....l had a relief sigh.....because l got there safe and in-time......but l am not encouraging any gal out there to ever do that.....lets just say l was fortunate nothing happened to me.....could be its because l had been brought up in shags (rural area) "Nanyuki" and there people trust each other a lot unlike towns/cities........

When l registered for CPA Exams with KASNEB,it was quite a process,,, l wandered what l was getting myself to,but am one gal who does not give up easily,,,so l did all that was required and finally got registered,,,,and started my classes at Strathmore University,,,will share my experience at Strathmore with time,,,,

Most accountants are stereotyped to be boring.I don't fully agree with that, because am one and am not boring.I think the perception was back in the days and with time we are becoming social accountants,way to go,to also enjoy what you do.Break the monotony and make accounting more spicy.....share ideas of how that can be done.

Did you really love accounting as a career?
