Here Cosmas shares his thoughts on this great achievement:

'I return all glory to God, whose grace carried every word I wrote and whose light crowned this journey with favour. Being ranked second nationwide was a moment of awe - humbling, overwhelming, and deeply affirming. I am profoundly grateful to my principal, my English teacher, my parents, my classmates and schoolmates for their steadfast belief and encouragement. I also thank everyone else who supported me in my writing journey in ways seen and unseen. Finally and more importantly, I extend heartfelt thanks to the Kisima fraternity for their unwavering support, not only to me but to countless students whose dreams they have nurtured through scholarship and generosity. This milestone is more than an achievement; it is a testimony of faith, community, and purpose fulfilled.'
