About Me

I am a 3rd year student at the Kenyatta University in Kenya undertaking a bachelors degree in Science. I schooled at Homa Bay highschool where i scored a mingrade of B plain. I spent first ten years of my childhood in a small and beautiful village. My grandfather enrolled my name in the village Primary School when I was five. A school was a totally new concept for me. On its first day I was afraid. My heart was throbbing. But when I found the school to be nice I liked it. Our teacher was very kind and loving to us. He used to tell us stories and teach through them. There my education began. There I learnt 'my first A.B.C. and began a joyful period in my life. Meanwhile my father got a job in the city. We shifted there. I started going the high school. I come from a rural background. So I became a laughing stock for some days at the beginning. But I proved my capacities within some days and caught attention of my teachers.

My Business

I do freelance writing. I do this online from a cyber cafe. Like most aspiring writers I started my entrepreneurial career as a small-time blogger and worked my way up to being a professional writer and financial expert. I’ve since leveraged that into a business that brings in more money than my accounting day job used to.

If you’re thinking of diving into the freelance writing space, or have recently started down that path, this is without a doubt a viable way to make a full-time living.

Since learning how to become a freelance writer, I’ve reached quite a few milestones. Starting a freelance writing career allowed me to follow my dream of being self-employed and also get to pay my university school fees. Make more money and have control over my own schedule.

Truth be told, that’s exactly how I got started — supplementing my income and pay my school fees.

Loan Proposal

I wish to request for a loan to facilitate in purchasing a laptop which will aid in online writing job.

Currently I do my writing from a cyber cafe which is a limiting in terms of working hours and the cost per minute in using the internet.

I have been freelancing to the past 1 year and it has really helped in raising my pocket money in campus and also paying my school fees arrears.

If i start working at home i expect the profits to go up by 50%, this will help me in raising extra pocket money for my younger sister too who is in Secondary school.

The laptop will cost me $200.
