Daniel; From a street child to an Engineer

They were credible brains of life that were being turned to waste. His life was now becoming an existence of regrets to his mother now that his father had died. Daniel was his name. He had been born during the reign of abject poverty in his family background. His mother could not be able to provide his basic needs to meet the family demands as required.
Daniel was taken to a local primary school in the slum area where he was now living with his mother. His mother was later employed in the same school as a cleaner.
From the start Daniel was very bright and impressed every teacher in the school. Sooner or rather later, peer pressure stole Daniel from his normal good moral life and tarnished it. Her mother was frustrated and worried until she was attacked by a stroke and hypertension. Daniel's mother was taken to hospital but she was no more. She died immediately she arrived at the hospital. 
This marked the end of Daniel in the school. He dropped out of the school. He joined the gang's of his peer who were now the worst sons of their fathers. The y involved themselves in drugs, robbery and immoral behaviours. 
Daniel later ended up in the streets as a 'chokora'. Thanks to God for teachers and well wishers who made follow up to Daniels life. They got him out of the streets counselled him and took him back to school. Daniel was a really brave child. He did his primary exams, passed. He got a well wisher who sponsored him up to university. As i wind up Daniel is an engineer working with Kenya Power. Glory be to God.
