KEY POINTS PICKED FROM PROFESSOR GETENGA’S TALK ON ACADEMIC WRITING

For the better part of my campus life, I haven’t gotten to be in the audience of an inspiring, motivating and encouraging session such as that we had with Professor Getenga on the night of 30th Feb 2018 at the Writers Guild Chuka Meeting.

IN THIS MOMENT by Allan Irrow

I've flown to the future, To those castles we've built not yet, To the adventures we've had not yet, To those moments we've spent not yet, And those dreams we've lived not yet, But I want to stay, in this moment.
