For most of his life, Collins from Eldoret believed that with hard work, everything would eventually fall into place. He was raised in a family where all siblings were bright, ambitious, and determined. But as they grew older, something strange began to happen—everyone in the family progressed except him.

But deep inside, Collins knew that wasn’t true. He felt something was blocking him—something he couldn’t see or understand.Get full story.
