The former Thika High School teacher recently retired from African American Academy in the United States after serving students for 25 years. Her journey is one of determination, resilience, and passion for education.
Kisang’a moved to the United States in 1997 in search of new opportunities. Like many immigrants, she had to adapt to a new environment while building a life far from home. Despite the challenges, she remained focused on her dream of making a difference through education. In September 2001, she officially began her teaching career in the US, a role that would define much of her life for the next 25 years.
Throughout her career, Kisang’a dedicated herself to helping young learners achieve their goals. She became a respected educator who inspired many students both inside and outside the classroom. Her commitment to teaching earned her admiration from colleagues, parents, and learners who appreciated her patience and dedication.
Retirement marks the end of one chapter, but Kisang’a says it is not the end of her active life. Speaking about her future plans, she made it clear that she is not slowing down. She expressed excitement about exploring new opportunities, pursuing personal interests, and spending more time with family and friends. Her positive attitude reflects the energy and determination that helped her succeed throughout her career.
The former teacher also looks back proudly on the impact she made during her years in education. She believes teaching is more than a profession because it allows individuals to shape future generations. The relationships she built with students and colleagues remain some of her most treasured memories.
Kisang’a’s story serves as an inspiration to many Kenyans living abroad. Her journey shows that hard work, dedication, and a passion for service can lead to a fulfilling and successful career. Although she has retired from the classroom, she remains optimistic about the future and eager to embrace the next chapter of her life with confidence and enthusiasm.Headline: Former Thika High School Teacher Retires in US After 25 Years, Says “I’m Not Tired Yet”
