Introduction:
In the year 2010 in the second term; Moi High School was invited by Straight Talk Club Patron of Mary Mount Girls High School to participate in the Peace day. Mr. Bengi; a maths physics teacher; Madam Namiinda; an English teacher and also overall Clubs Patron and Mr. Oscar Awuor; a Computer and Physical education teacher took a group of 50 students to the Mary Mount Girls. The 50 students participated in various activities e.g. a 6 km walk; discussions and in entertainment. The day was very successful. It was then that we felt eager to talk to the Mary Mount Straight Talk Club Patron and we were eager to begin ours at Moi High School Kabarak.I borrowed very many ideas from the Patron and promised to work hand in hand with him once we begin ours. The club mainly focuses on issues affecting the society and high schools. It talks straight about issues without beating around the bush. It calls a spade a spade but not a big spoon. The club is very optimistic about the achievement of the objectives set.
Word from the Patron:

I thank the school administration for allowing me to begin this Club in Moi High School Kabarak. I have a mission to achieve in Moi High School Kabarak. It is not just in vain that I have begun this Club. God has a hand in it and I believe that He will help me achieve all the objectives. Thanks also to Madam Naminda for supporting me in the launching of the Club. Thanks to all my colleague teachers for their support and students at large. I do not believe in a dormant club but an active one; a club that brings change to the Society and our school. At least one trip per term and organizing for open forums and seminars that sometimes will involve the whole School. I will work hand in hand with the media; Nacada People and N.G.Os.

STRAIGHT TALK CLUB : THE NEW BEGINNING KEEP SWIMMING:
30/032011
Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl. One was an optimistic soul. But the other took a gloomy view.well drown, he lamented without much ado, and with a last despairing cry, he flung up his legs and saidGoodbye.
Quote the other frog with a steadfast grin, I cant get out but I wont give in. Ill just swim around till my strength is spent, then Ill die the more content. Bravely, he swam to work his scheme, and his struggles began to churn the cream.
The more he swam his legs a flutter, the more the cream turned into butter. On top of the butter at last, he stopped,and out of the bowl,he gaily hopped.
What is the moral? Its easily found.. If you cant hop out,keep swimming around. We should never give up. Let us always be determined and focused till we achieve what we want in our lives. Let us keep swimming. MY GOAL: My goal is God Himself,not joy nor peace; Nor even Blessing,but Himself,my God. Tis His to lead me there,not mine but His At any cost, dear Lord, by any road. So faith bounds forward to its goal in God, And love can trust her Lord to lead her there.
STRAIGHT TALK CLUB : THE NEW BEGINNING Upheld by Him, my soul is follwing hard, Till God hath fulfilled my deepest prayer.
30/032011
No matter if the way
be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great, He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark, The way that leads to Him is seldom straight.
One thing I know,I cannot say Him nay; One thing I do,I press on towards my Lord. My God, my Glory here from day to day, and in the glory there, my Great Reward.
11 TIPS FOR MAKING RESOLUTIONS REALITIES: 1.Make a list of your goals: ..and select the top three to five that are the most important to you. Pray for Gods guidance in the process.He knows Best. 2. Be Realistic: Reaching for a goal stretch you but it should also be doable.Decide on a reasonable frame for reaching each goal. 3.Dont try to do everything at once. Focus on your top goal for a set period of time.Then move to goal no. 2 ,while maintaining the progress made towards reaching the firstone and so on.
STRAIGHT TALK CLUB : THE NEW BEGINNING 4.Pray: Prayer brings into play the spiritual help you need to reach your goal. 5.Work with God:
30/032011
Change involves overcoming the past thought and behavioral patterns.This is never easy but change for the better is possible if you ask God to help and follow His lead. With God,nothing will be impossible (luke1:37) 6.Chart your progress: Keep track of how far youve come using a journal or chart.Keeping records and reviewing them periodically can also help to identify weak spots. 7.Get Help From Others: Share your plan with a friend and ask for his or her help.Being accountable to someone will give you added incentive to stick to your resolutions even when it is tough. 8.Dont be discouraged by your mistakes: You will have some setbacks and off days. Take these lows as a reminder that you cant do it on your own.Draw closer to God and depend more on His help. Tomorrow is a fresh chance to do better! 9.Be in it for the long Haul: If you are truly serious about making a change, you will be willing to see it through,no matter how long it takes. 10. Visualize Victory; Periodically visualize what your life will be like once your goal is reached.
Page 20
30/032011
Practice the advantages you will gain and how much happier,healthier or more productive you will be. 11. Reward yourself for each goal you reach: The real reward will be the feeling of accomplishment and the benefits youll experience from the change youve made,but having a physical treat attached to a specific goal can make it more enjoyable. Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and make a new ending. Also; Never say die till death proclaims you are dead. Keep on fighting till you achieve your goal in life.
AN ENCOURAGING AND INSPIRING STORY: In december of 1992, I was a happy husband and father of two young children. A month later, I was diagnosed with Acute LymphoplasticLUEkemia.
After two years of chemoterapy that helped me into remission,my body was weak and lifeless. I felt as if I were a puppet who needed help to lift his arms or hold up his head. I began to run. After six months,my strength had come back. On one of my runs,one where I felt I could run forever, I decided I was going to try to run a marathon. After telling my Dad about my plan, he told me of a program that trains people to run a marathon,while raising funds for LUEkemia research at the same time.
Page 21
30/032011
So that summer,through the Luekemia societys Team in Training program, I started to train for the Marine Corps Marathon.During mile after mile of uncertainty, the day finally came tho run the marathon. On October 27,1996,at 8a.m, the cannon went off and so did I.Along with 19,000 other brave souls I started on a twenty-six and two tenths mile jouerney that I will never forget. I first saw my wife Patty at the six mile mark:she seemed happy that I was still looking as if I knew what I was doing, and having a good time doing it.At mile 17,my mind was going back to those two horrible years that tried to bring my family and me down. I saw her againThe concern in her face told me she knew I was starting to struggle.I felt as if we were thinking the same,nine more miles and these last few years will be behind us. That thought alone pulled me forward. Mile 22,23 slowing but going,24,25 then there it was. The Iwo Jima War Memorial.I have seen nothing so grand and inspiring in my life. At 3 hours and 41 minutes after I started, I crossed what I think has to be the most fitting finish line in all of road racing! That night the Luekemia Society gave me a pin at a post race party that vsimply says,Luekemia 26.2 If God wills and I relapse, my cancer may once again take away my hair and my strength,may be even my life.But it can never take away my pin, or the fact that Iam a marathoner. N.B: We should never give up even if we reach a point of no return. Let us always be focused. Students be focused in your academics .Continue working as you pray and you will succeed.
Things Dont Just Happen: Things dont just happen to us
