A Future Lawyer’s Story

My name is Joseph. I’m 16 years old. I live with my mother and three siblings. I enjoy dancing and playing football, however, my biggest passion is reading. My favourite book is Tao Te Ching. This book consists of 81 short chapters or verses that guide how to live a balanced and harmonious life. The title “Tao Te Ching” roughly translates to “The Book of the Way and its Virtue” or “The Classic of the Virtuous Way.”

In 2018, I joined the Ngong Road Children’s Foundation and enrolled in one of their focus primary schools. . Currently, I am in High School, Form 2 (10th grade) My favorite subject is business, and during my free time, I enjoy reading and mingling with my friends

Aspiring Lawyer from Kenya

I aspire to become a lawyer and solve big cases to help people who cannot afford to pay for a lawyer. My role model is Abraham Lincoln. He was a lawyer who practiced law with John T. Stuart before partnering with Stephen Logan and William H. Herndon. He became a prominent railroad lawyer in Illinois before being elected as the 16th president of the United States. During his presidency, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation and was unfortunately assassinated in 1865.

Besides my academic and personal goals, I am also focusing on maintaining my purity and health by avoiding drug intake at all costs. I strongly believe that a healthy lifestyle is crucial for success. Lastly, I would love to visit Dubai one day and expose myself to proper urbanization.
