Benta’s Story
My names are Benta Akinyi. I am 14 years old. I have two sisters in this school. Their names are Lucy Achieng (she is in standard six and she likes reading). Another one is Jacinta Atieno. She is in standard three. I was born in Kawanga Hospital. I have stayed in Kibera for four years and I come from Kisumu.
I live with my parents and I like it very much because they care for me, and they want me to study hard. My parents are Christians and they like the Word of God. We are only three children. My dad likes joking, while my Mother likes singing.
My parents struggle for us so that we can have our basic needs met. My mother is a tailor, while my father is a carpenter. They tell me to work hard in school so that I can help them in the future, and so that I can help myself in the future. They always tell us they want us to make our dreams, and when I hear that tears roll down my cheeks. I told them that I will work hard at school and I promise to them that I will work hard. I would like to be a newscaster. If I work hard, and reach my dreams, I will be very happy.
I want to overcome all temptation. I will put God first because He is the one who will overcome all the temptation and I will do the right things at the right time.
I am usually funny and I like joking and reading story books.
