Betsy Cherotich was born to a relatively well-to-do family of eight as the first born daughter. The passion for writing and the power of expression through language couldn't have gone unrealized by the school authority and parents during the early schooling years and the ambition was and still is- TO BECOME A PROLIFIC WRITER among other journalistic duties. Being the best KCPE candidate in the entire district in English language,more was to follow as the talent was still realized by the KNA while writing stories during the 2006 3- month -attachment. After sitting for the 2003 KCSE and getting a mean grade of C+(plus) and accomplishing a diploma course in journalism& media studies,the journalism dream is yet to be realized.
