I am Khadija Ajax aged 19. I live in Kilifi County with my two parents. I went to Kilimo primary school for eight years and proceeded to The Alliance girls’ high school for my high school education. My journey hasn’t ended here for I have been called to pursue Civil Engineering at the Kenyatta University. My experience at Kemri and with its staff has been wonderful and also educative. I came in hardly knowing what goes around here but I am now, confident enough to say Kemri is an eminent organization. From the time I applied for the SLAS to the end of this wonderful programme so much learning has taken place and also fun as well.
I have never done an aptitude test before the one organized by Kemri. The interview they did to all the applicants was a very nice experience and I must say it gave me tips on how to conduct myself at the interviews I attended after. A big thank you to the Organization.
WHAT MOTIVATES ME: No matter how bad a day is going to be, it always ends and a new day comes forth; a new chance to rectify our faults and start something new.
