In her own words...
My name is Selinah Amagove Sambuli
I was born on the 9th .November 1991 in Nairobi, Kenya.
However, my parents come from a place called Jeptoroli Village, Gisambai sub location, Hamisi District in Western Kenya.
We are of mixed tribe, my grandfather is of the Kalenjin tribe but my grandmother a Luhya. We cannot speak the two languages of our parents because we were born and raised in Nairobi. My 4 siblings and I communicate in Kiswahili and English.
I went to Maasai Girls High school for my first year, we call that here form one. In Nairobi we do not usually live at home when we attend high school. Here I was often sick because of contaminated borehole water so my parents decided to transfer me to Lockwood Girls High School in Nakuru. I studied at Lockwood for 3 years and did my first exam in the year 2009. I sat for my final set of exams last year and attained the following grades;
English B, Kiswahili B-, Christian Religious Education C+, Geography C, Physics D+, Chemistry D+, Biology C, Maths D and this brought a mean grade of C.
Because of my success with grades and my contribution to school life I was accepted at Uganda Christian University http://www.ucu.ac.ug/ in the batchelor of mass communications program. I want to be a journalist. There are many reasons why I have chosen this course and this university.
