It all started when my big brother and his friends couldn’t let me play with them cause I was a minor, So I would borrow 20 shillings from him and go watch movies at the cinema hall. I would spend the whole day there to a point of getting into trouble with mum.
One time in standard 3 my CRE teacher requested volunteers to go forward and act out a parable we had just studied in class. I was the first to step up and the rest as they say Is history.
