  • There is no doubt Pius has been through the most in life but he also knows how to make the best out of the little he is given in life
    From being abandoned by his own mother at four months, being raised by the grandmother , to him raising himself, this boy who believed would go on to fight and pursue his dreams and now works as an investment senior banking analyst in Wall Street.
    He has also built his grand ma a beautiful house as a sign of gratitude

    The story reminds me of my son Keith, whose father left me with in hospital at birth, while i was a student. Later i ran into marriage looking for a father for him, but little did i know that i had jumped from a frying pan into fire! Unlike Pius, i didnt abandon my son but ran away from the abusive marriage, if only to protect my son from the abusive step father. Went through pain and struggle as a single mother. Today my son is mentoring other broken young men who ve been abandoned by their father. Pius, you are going far. God bless you

    A number of lessons learned from this story.
    1. The SEED of God doesn't get lost*
    2. Education is an Equalizer
    3. The power of resilience
    4. All things work for the good of those who love God.
    5. Teachers are special.. You firmly supported Pius
    6. Mom's please never abandon your child for a relationship...
    7. Shosh Pius... Enjoy your life in peace. You are the best.
    8. When you find an opportunity to to support a struggling child through education.. please don't hesitate...

    I read this book.....
    The greatest mistake you can do is to attempt to read it if you don't have enough time, because you will use that moment to read it and finish it before doing anything else.
    It is a book that took me back to my childhood, puberty and adulthood at once. I could simply assign myself and people roles.
    I speak as a man whose destiny was also connected. One thing we share with my Brother Pius whom I know so well is, Education is the rod that parted the seas.
    I grew knowing I'll get a PhD before I die, but never knew I'll get it at the age of 28 years.
    I've learnt something through the talk, there is God up there, that watches over men.
    If I'll live another day, may I live to light another man's or woman's candle.

    I am Zambian currently in school at the University of Cologne (Germany). I landed on this channel by 'accident' while looking for the online tutorial for Jazz guitar lessons (learning Jazz guitar through online tutorials in my free time). Since then, this channel is one of the channels that accompanies me to bed every other late night. After all books and guitar workouts are done, I slide into bed, put my laptop at an angle using my chest as support and get glued to your stories. Great content as told in the impacted individuals voices. You are a star - one in a million. Keep 'em comin' sisthren.

      Thank you Pius for sharing your heart wrenching life story. Grandma is a hero. We thank God that He saved her life and gave you the opportunity to say thank you to her whilst she is still alive. May God continue to bless you in leaps and bounds. You are a living testimony of His love and mercy.

    Watching this now. Teachers are a second set of parents. Grandparents are guardian Angels. May we be grateful,may we respect others and remain humble. Never judge as nobody knows what someone's going through or been through. May we learn to be kind😢❤

    When Pius says he loves Kenya, I believe him entirely. And I love that he is proud to be who he is and he is not ashamed of his background. And did you realise that after years in the US, his accent is pure❤❤, that for me is a plus. Thanks for your beautiful soul, Pius.

    I love when people live to tell a different story from that people had written for them At 4 months, people had started writing his story, his own mother included, a hopeless story but we truly are never alone ever. His grandma, sister, teachers who believed in him and gave him a chance, to the amazing programs that afforded him opportunities and most importantly to his faith and resolve, we are never alone. I speak continued goodness of the Lord in his life and those who held his hand because most of us tend to forget people who hand hold us especially when pride catches up.
    May this young man be a reminder that faith, the right attitude and effort will always beat everything. And when we do get there may we be grateful to God and people who held us down. We are a totality of all our experiences and choices.
