CNN International Correspondent Larry Madowo says his KCSE grade was considered unsatisfactory by some of his family members.
Through his Facebook account on Tuesday, Madowo stated that KCSE grades do not determine success and one’s fate after school.
He encouraged the candidates saying despite him failing, he managed to have 45 foreign trips in the previous year.
According to his social media post, he only got a B- (minus) in KCSE but he has managed to hit several career milestones.
The multimedia journalist recalled how the grade was considered unsatisfactory by some of his family members and he was being compelled to re-sit for KCSE.

He, however, turned down the push and decided to pursue journalism, a course that was commensurate to his high school grade.
Years, later, Madowo revealed that his journalism career has helped him travel to 27 countries making 45 trips within a year.
“I “failed” KCSE but I did 45 foreign trips last year – 27 countries. My B- in the national exam was so bad I was getting pushed to repeat Form 4!” Madowo wrote.
Following his success despite getting low grades, Madowo advised the 2023 candidates to avoid being swayed by pressure but focus on their long-term goals.
