A Message from Dr. Ekrah: The Legacy of STAREHE Boys
To the Class of 2024 and the young men of STAREHE Boys,
It is an honor to address the future great leaders and visionaries of our nation. STAREHE Boys has long been a beacon of excellence, and it is with immense pride that I speak to you today. Starehe known for its enduring motto “Tulenge Njuu” and the belief that “Simplicity is Classy,” has consistently upheld a standard of excellence that has shaped some of the most remarkable individuals in our society.
Dr. Griffin, a figure of immense influence within STAREHE Boys, imparted a profound lesson that remains central to our values: When performing any task, do it with such dedication and care that, if given another chance, you would not alter a thing. His belief was simple yet powerful—always strive for perfection and give your best effort, treating every task with the utmost respect and diligence.
As the Class of 2024 embarks on this transformative journey, I urge you to seize this golden opportunity with both hands. Success, much like a precious resource, has its own expiration; it evolves and shifts every five years. Thus, it is crucial that you continue to pursue excellence every single day, living each moment as if it were your last. This relentless pursuit of greatness is not just a personal endeavor but a contribution to our collective future.
The values instilled in you—integrity, self-regulation, self-leadership, and commitment to excellence—are not just academic ideals but are essential for leading a life of purpose and impact. Embrace initiative and finishitive with unwavering resolve. These qualities are not just desirable but are desperately needed in our society to drive meaningful change.
In closing, remember that the legacy of STAREHE Boys is built upon the foundation of its past students who have gone on to achieve greatness. You are now part of this storied tradition. Let your actions reflect the values you have been taught and strive to make every day count. Your journey is not just about personal success but about shaping the future and contributing to a better society.
