The boy who believed: Breaking the barriers of impossibilities
At 7 years old, Pius Mithika is forced to be independent and carve out his own path to success. Buckle up as he takes you on a flashback journey from his apartment in Manhattan to a remote village in Kenya called Kaelo, where he introduces you to the dynamic, resilient life of a young boy with huge evolving dreams but a single vision.
He makes you experience the thrills, the challenges, the hard work, the fun, the loss, the healing, the success, the failures, the lessons, and some of the most intriguing life encounters creatively put in words. This movie-like memoir takes you to various parts of Kenya and the U.S., where Pius offers you a seat beside him to experience both countries through his impeccable narration.
The story in this memoir was written two years ago. Then, Pius was about to graduate from MSU with his B.A. in Finance. Since then, Pius has worked in New York for BNP Paribas for a year and then returned to Broad College to get his Master’s in Finance. He graduated on May 5 and will continue to work in Finance.
He also wrote a book called The Boy Who Believed. Pius tells readers that even with nothing, you always have love to give, and with hard work and determination, you can achieve all your wildest dreams. Frankly, making such dreams possible is what makes our lives as educators more fulfilled.
