Why would you like to participate in this study program?
I would like to participate in this study program because I want to develop a deeper understanding of global issues. I feel it provides a platform to explore complex international challenges and gain a more nuanced perspective on global economics and cross cultural dynamics. I feel the study will allow me to expand my knowledge and understanding of the interconnected world. I also want to know more on leadership and communication skills and even to gain exposure to diverse perspectives and the practical application of knowledge. I want to grow. I first heard about the Institute for Global Leadership, when I was reading some research works of my lecturer (who was once a student here; the late Dr Eddie Ombagi) and I wanted to know more about it and he advised me to join. He told me that’s its a nice platform for general personal growth. Hence I thought of it and saw it as very crucial.
Please describe your vision of a world that works for everyone.
I envision a world that works for everyone as one where there is equitable access to resources, opportunities, and fundamental rights. This would involve sustainable economic and social systems that prioritize the well-being of all people, regardless of their background or circumstances. It would be a world characterized by justice, compassion, and a deep respect for human dignity, where no one is left behind. Through collaborative efforts and a shared commitment to the common good, we could create a future where everyone can thrive and reach their full potential.
What do you see as the most pressing problems facing the world today?
There are several pressing problems facing the world today, including poverty, pandemic diseases, ignorance, and inequality. Poverty is a widespread issue that affects millions of people worldwide, leading to hunger, lack of education, and poor living conditions. Pandemic diseases, such as COVID-19, have the potential to cause widespread devastation and loss of life. Ignorance, whether it be in the form of lack of education or misinformation, can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts. Inequality, whether it be based on gender, race, or socioeconomic status, can lead to discrimination and lack of opportunities for many individuals.
How do you feel these problems could best be solved?
To resolve these issues, it is essential for governments, organizations, and individuals to work together towards comprehensive solutions. In the case of poverty, efforts should be made to provide access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities to help lift individuals out of poverty. For pandemic diseases, it is crucial to invest in healthcare infrastructure, research, and global cooperation to prevent and quickly respond to outbreaks. Ignorance can be combated through education, promoting critical thinking, and fact-based information. Finally, inequality can be addressed through policies that promote diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all individuals.
Ultimately, addressing these pressing problems will require a coordinated effort from all sectors of society to bring about lasting change.
Profile
My name is Kibet Methusela Keter, and I am 21 years old. I am currently a student at the University of Kabianga, where I just completed my second year, pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Education Arts: English and Literature. I come from a Christian family and am the middle child of three siblings. I consider myself a go-getter, and I work incredibly hard, especially when it comes to my academic pursuits. I am driven to excel and achieve my goals.
One of the things that deeply troubles me is the state of many African countries, which are being pulled down by natural calamities, such as droughts, as well as conflicts led by leaders who seem to lack understanding and vision. It pains me to see the immense potential of the African continent being squandered due to greed and poor leadership. This is why I aspire to be part of the positive change and offer hope to the people of Africa.
To that end, I am an avid reader, and I particularly enjoy literature books as well as those that focus on personal growth and development. I find great inspiration in books that teach readers how to become the best version of themselves, discover inner peace and joy despite numerous suffering, and cultivate confidence. These are the kinds of books that resonate with me and fuel my aspirations.
In addition to my academic pursuits, I have also been actively involved in various extracurricular activities. I have attended several seminars on student leadership at my university, and I am part of youth organizations that work to create awareness on important issues such as HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancies, risky sexual behaviors, and behavior change education. I am also a peer educator, sharing my knowledge and experiences with my peers on several issues.
Furthermore, I am involved in a student-community organization that engages the local community around the university on best environmental practices. I take part in peace keepeing clubs. This allows me to contribute to the betterment of my surroundings and make a positive impact.
At the core of my being, I believe that I am in this world for a purpose, and I am driven to discover and fulfill that purpose. I am passionate about being part of the positive transformation and development of Africa, offering hope and solutions to the continent’s challenges. It is my sincere desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and contribute to the creation of a better future for all.
