BRIAN KALUBA My names are Brian Kaluba, the ninth born son of Mr. and Mrs. Kaluba. I was born on the 5th of August, 1995 at a village called Katongo Kapala in Mpika. I have six brothers and three sisters. Our first born (sister), Grace is married and lives at a farm with her husband and children in Mpika. Our second born, Chibesa now lives in Kitwe with his wife. He is a graduate of The University of Zambia and holds a bachelor’s degree in Metallurgy. Collins is our third born. He now lives in Lusaka with his wife, after graduating with a masters degree in Education. He has since been adopted on merit as a Staff Developmental Fellow at the University. Savior, our fourth born could not cope with the hardships that characterize our education in the area and just stays home working at the farm with mom and dad. Chomba comes fifth in the family. He has been studying law in the United states of America. Bernard, the sixt born in the family also failed to cope with school hence he is with my parents in Mpika as well. Bright is the seventh in our family, he is currently doing law at the university of Zambia. Memory, my immediate elder sister is looking forward to getting enrolled at a Zambian college, Evelyn Hone. Mercy, is the last born in our family. She is currently staying with my elder brother in Kitwe. She is doing her sixth grade. I started school in 2000 at Katongo Kapala Basic School. This was a very exciting experience for me and at the same time very challenging as I had to walk long distances to get to school. My School was about thirteen to fifteen kilometers away from home and in my early grades I used to stay in a makeshift boarding house. This is a house that was meant to accommodate those of us who were staying very far away from school. In 2005, my parents took me to Nyakangu Private School. This was barely a year since my father retired from the Ministry of Education as a teacher. I stayed at the same school until I wrote my Primary School Leaving Exams. In 2007, I qualified to attend grade Eight at Musakanya Basic School following my good performance in grade seven exams held the previous year. The school is about 5 kilometers from home. During my junior secondary I enjoyed learning Science and Geography. Through science I learnt a lot about the Human’s body and Chemicals. I also liked to attend private Art and Design lessons. In 2008 I sat for Junior Secondary School Exams. A year later I was selected to attend Secondary School Education at Chitulika High School, until I wrote the Secondary School Final Exams in 2011. During my year in school, I learnt a lot of things. I learnt about other people’s culture, behavior and their lifestyle. I also attended school clubs namely, Anti Corruption Commissions’ School Club as a Secretary, Anti Aids Club as an Organizer, Road safety club as Vice President to mention but a few. I learnt a lot through these school clubs, we even used to do lots of voluntary works to the community, Like teaching people about, the Dangers of HIV/AIDS, Corruption, Road’s safety and rules. The one most amazing thing I learnt from our community is how people Cooperate to doing what is right and through this the things I learn in life do not only help my poor family but also the community. My family has been giving me support in almost every part of my life.
