Royal Media Services Founder and Chairman has come out to reveal how he toiled to make ends meet during his younger years.
Macharia, who was speaking during a Prize Giving Ceremony at Kahuhia Girls’ Secondary School in Murang’a County on Saturday recounted how he had to work during the night and study during the day so as to school fees.
The Royal Media Services Boss told the school going Girls a story of how a young Macharia used to work as a sweeper for Boeing in the United States when he was a student so that he could raise school fees and afford a meal.
“When I was in the United States of America, I paid my school fees by working during the night and studying during the day. Do you know a company that makes big planes called Boeing? I took a job as a sweeper with Boeing-the plane-making company in Seattle where I swept floors for eight years.”
Macharia said.
The Business Magnate urged students to avoid relying on help each and every time since they can do things without necessarily seeking assistance from outside.
“It’s more about what you are doing for yourself that will make you a proud and successful person. You don’t have to be assisted by anyone but if you can get assistance, it should be a small push. My story is proof that you can be anything you want to be. Keep working and do not fear anything.”
S.K. Macharia told the excited students.
Among other invited guests were Equity Bank Chairman Peter Munga, Murang’a County Women Representative Sabina Chege and Pioneer University Vice-Chancellor Dr. Gideon Maina.
