The Bold Dream: Transcending the Impossible Gladys Chepkirui Ngetich

What exactly does it take to bring out the best in you? Pure luck or simply one's fate? How far can one go through sheer grit, hard work and consistency? In The Bold Dream: Transcending the Impossible, a medical doctor and an aerospace engineer tell of how they scaled academic heights from under-resourced rural primary schools deep in the heart of the Rift Valley in Kenya, to the University of Oxford as Rhodes scholars. Through narration of real-life experiences, this book explores the challenges they faced while growing up and schooling, the push that their bold dreams gave them, and how they ended up in one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world. Most importantly, they share deep, thought-provoking views on the sacrifices women in their community make, through the experiences of their mothers. Dr Elisha Ngetich and Dr Gladys Ngetich explore some of the consistent themes in their serendipitous climb to the University of Oxford to pursue PhD. An inspirational read, this book is a must read for anyone who wants to persistently pursue their bold dreams.
