Lakini yote tisa kumi nilipoingia sekondari ambapo kwa uwezo wa mungu nilifaulu vizuri masomo yangu na kuchaguliwa kujiunga na shule ya sekondari ya wasichana jangwani mambo ndo yalipozidi kuwa magumu, mzunguko wa kuumwa uliongezeka zaidi na yote kwa yote nilikutana na mambo mapya, mazingira mapya na watu wapya ambao kwa namna moja ama nyingine ilikuwa lazima watambue hali yangu ili wajue jinsi ya kuishi na mimi, suala ambalo kwa kweli nilikuwa nikipata ugumu sana kuwaelezea watu na ni kitu ambacho huwa nakichukia hadi leo kwa kuwa hunikumbusha machungu mengi sana, nilipoanza fomu 1 siku moja mwalimu wa darasa aliingia kujitambulisha darasani akawa anapitia fomu ya kila mwanafunzi na ndo hapo alipopitia fomu yenye jina langu ambapo ilikuwa ni lazima uandike kama una maradhi yeyote nakumbuka alichosema Yule mwalimu ambacho kilinitoa machozi mbele ya darasa zima “khadija unaumwa sickle cell? Pole sana mwanangu mungu atakusaidia” nilijikuta tu nikilia kwani nilikumbuka jinsi ambavyo huwa naumwa na hapo darasa zima lilijua kuwa khadija anaumwa, kitu ambacho pia huwa nakichukia katika maisha yangu, mpaka leo hii namkumbuka sana mwalimu Yule kwa kuwa baadae alikuja kuwa rafiki wa mama yangu baada ya siku moja kunipiga na kuumwa ilimbidi mama amfuate hadi shuleni lakini baadae walikuwa marafiki wakubwa baada ya kujikuta wakifanya kazi kwenye ofisi moja na hadi sasa huwa anakuja nyumbani.
But all in all thing got uglier when I entered secondary school where by by god’s grace I passed and therefore I was selected to join jangwani girls secondary school, the drises I got increased and also I met new things, new environment and new people who in one way or another they had to know my condition so that they can know how to live with me, that was the thing that I always face some hardship explaining to people and it was the thing I hated most in my life until today, explaining to people that Iam sick that I have sickle cell because it reminds me of so much pain I went through, when I started form 1 one day class teacher entered the classroom inorder to introduce herself and she was going through our forms and she came across my form whereby it was compulsory to write in a form if you have any health problem, and I still remember clearly what she said, words tha made me to drop tears infront of the whole classroom “Khadija, u have sickle cell? Iam very sorry my child god will help you.” I actually found myself crying because I remembered the way I get when I fall sick and from then the whole class who were present that day knew that Khadija was suffering from sickle cell disease, the thing that I also hated the most those days, until today I still remember that teacher because later she became my mother’s fiend after I got sick because she bit me and unfortunately I fall sick so my mom had to come to school to talk to her but later thet become good friend’s after finding themselves working in one office and she comes home until today.
INAENDELEA........
