90-year-old
grandma, Priscilla Sitienei, who hails from Eldoret, Uasin Gishu county, has
not given up on education, as she has enrolled in a primary school in Kenya.
Priscilla
chose to attend school simply because she had an eagerness to read the Bible
and learn how to send an SMS on her phone, Tuko.co.ke states.
The
relentless grandmother is enrolled at Vision preparatory and she is
schoolmate with seven of her grandchildren.
Priscilla
affectionately referred to as Gogo, which is the grandmother in Kalenjin,
dedicated much of her life to raising her children and was a midwife for 65
years.
She grew
up under colonial rule and did not get the opportunity to go to school, so she
took to education at her old age in a bid to empower herself.
Priscilla
never shies away from learning and shares classes with children young enough to
be her great-grandchildren.
Her
attitude is admirable and proves to many in our society that it’s never too
late to learn and accomplish your dreams, a teacher in her school said.
