Exams: My grades weren't great, the rest is history

Living
 East African Legislative Assembly MP Suleiman Shahbal. [File, Standard]

My headmaster was convinced I would amount to nothing in life and that my parents were wasting their money trying to educate me.

Once, I timidly presented my below-average Form Three results to my uncle who glanced at them, grimaced and said, "No problem. If you fail, you will work here".

He was running a garage. The fear of ending up in a garage made me study a little harder. Despite all, my grades in school were at best, average and when I did excel, I surprised even myself.
