Reflecting on growth
Mumbua, who is currently in high school, has not only added a year but has also shown mental and emotional maturity. In a conversation with her mother in November 2024, she shared how high school has been a transformative experience.
High school has made me think more like an adult.“I feel like every moment in school is a learning moment. I’ve grown mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I just feel much more intelligent in terms of knowledge and all that stuff.
This growth has instilled in her a sense of personal responsibility and a stronger foundation in her values, preparing her to make more independent decisions.
