"Congratulations to Njeri Mary Wangeci of Njonjo Girls High School on your sterling performance in the just released KCSE results; A mean Grade of B+ is commendable. Yours is a journey marred with determination, perseverance and discipline.

Despite the insecurity incidences witnessed in Olmoran- your home area- during your form one transition and the financial constraints that came with it you have surpassed all obstacles and have excelled. I treasure the journey we have walked together over time, and I look forward to its continuity as you venture into the next phase of your education," part of her caption read.

Mati scored a B+ in English, an A in Kiswahili, a B+ in mathematics, biology, physics and chemistry, a B in geography and an A in computer studies.
