Letter to Mr Musyoki

Dear Mr Musyoki,
How’s life for you? I hope you have been well. Do you still remember that you came to my school upon the invitation from Ms Heng to give us a presentation on Kenyan’s lifestyle? Well, that was 2 years ago. Since then, I have been leading a hetic lifestyle of studies and balancing my time after CCA. Today, I have written this letter to tell you the changes I have experienced since school reopened this year.

Firstly, the school implements this policy of having an iron on badge, apparently due to the forget ness of students to bring their collar pin.

Secondly, my history, social studies and English teacher is Ms Heng! It came as a surprise to me as she teaches well in all three of the above subjects, so I guess I’m blessed?

Thirdly, I have noticed that recently my friend had been chummier towards me. It must be better mutual understanding towards each other since last year.

Fourth, Ms Chamb, the previous principal of our school has been transferred to another school. Then, Mr Koh Chong Mong took over. This was two years ago. Last year, after adapting to the school values and is doing perfectly fine as a principal this year.

Fifth, all the sec four express and 5N students are seated at the gallery and watching the whole school on a higher ground (laugh).

Sixth, the graduating classes, meaning the sec 4 express and 5N are getting the best subjects teacher. Of course, the school wanted us to do well in ‘’O’’ levels and they also wanted a high percentage of students to enter polytechnics and in Junior college.

Seventh, some of the canteen vendors had changed, although the dishes stay the same. I miss the chicken chop made from the previous owner as the current one’s standard is still far from the previous.

Eighth, all canteen food prices had raised by 20% of its usual price. I think it was cause by the high import prices from other countries.

Ninth, it is now harder to obtain pork meat as China pigs had been suffering from some kind of disease. As such, pork prices in canteen rose rapidly too, making it harder for many people to purchase.

Tenth, I overhead this conversation between two cleaners. They were saying water and electricity bills have been skyrocketed by more than a hundred percent. And as for the cause, I’m mot familiar with it.

Lastly, it seems to me everything in the world rises rapidly. That includes prices, except salary, which is the only factor that rose the slowest over the series of year. I hope to hear from you pretty soon, until then.

With respect and love,
Edmund
