Kirumira Daniel Kalinda's profile

To Grace Kalinda and Rose Babirye, on the 9th-Sept-1987 in Namasujju, the tinest village in Kasangombe sub-county, Nakaseke district-Uganda (East Africa),Kirumira was born. He started out his elementary education in 1991 at a local school (Namasujju Church of Uganda Primary School). After two years of preparatory studies, Daniel's parents decided to take their son to a more competitive school-Wobulenzi Parents' School where he sat his Primary Leaving Examinations in 1999. With four distinctions in four subjects, Kalinda was automatically admitted by St Marys' College Kisubi where he spent the six years of secondary education. Flying with bright colours at both Ordinary and Advanced levels, he outstandingly scored 9 distinctions in the 10 subjects (And a credit 3 in English) at O'level in 2003 before grabbing 20 out of a possible 25 points as a high school graduate in 2005. During his six years at this prestigious college, he served his school in several positions of responsibility; firstly, as The Accounts class representative for the years 2002 and 2003. Then, unanimously being elected by his classmates as the Asst.(A'Level class)chairperson for the term 2004/2005. At the same time, he represented the elders' community(A Level students)on the German Club Executive committee.

With a cumulative total of 42.5points,in 2006, Daniel won a three year government scholarship worth $5,500US to study a Bsc.Quantitative Economics at Makerere University Kampala. During his three year tenure at the Ivory Tower, Kirumira served as a class coordinator for the QE (Day group)class from 2006 to 2009. It was i during this reign of leadership that he realized his strong desire to take part in leadership at every possible level and opportunity. What seemed like a desire bred unimaginable political ambition which were later responsible for his misunderstandings with certain sections of the University community as rumours of guild presidence ran through several corridors of Makerere. His dream however was dealt a severe blow as his new found hobby ran him into trouble with balancing his academics. The University rules were inflebly rigid about any guild candidate running if he/she had failed a paper before. Unfortunately for Kalinda, the was a retake in Principles of Development Economics.
