Most of you know me as the man at the gate of the KEACHS branch elementary campus. You see me every morning and every afternoon, a fixture in a khaki uniform, ensuring that the most precious parts of your life stay safe. My experience here has been very good, Alhamdulillah (Praise be to God).
But while my eyes are on the perimeter, my heart is often somewhere else, carrying a rhythm that many of you might not expect.
Every Child, Safely Home:
People often ask me what advice I have for the students. It isn’t about grades or complex lessons; it’s about safety and the bond of family. My message to them as they walk through those gates is simple: “Go with your parents, and go only when your name is called out.” In a world that moves so fast, I just want to make sure every child gets back to the hand that loves them.
The Music Within:
What you might not know is that when the school day ends, my “second life” begins. I am a singer. My big dream for the future isn’t tied to security or academics, it’s entirely in the world of music.
I’ve already started walking that path. I have launched a few albums through companies like:
- Thar Production
- Nag Production
- SP Gold Enterprise
If you asked me where I’d want to perform if I could stand on any stage in the world, my answer is simple: Anywhere. I would love to go anywhere where people are willing to listen to my voice.
The Silent Struggle:
The hardest part of my journey is the clock. People ask how I relax or find time for my music after a long shift at the school. The honest, heavy truth?
I don’t have time. By the time the gates are locked and the school is quiet, the day has taken its toll. Finding the energy to transition from the vigilance of a guard to the creativity of an artist is a constant battle. Yet, the dream of becoming a full-time singer keeps me going.
So, the next time you see me at the gate, know that behind the uniform is a man with a song in his head, waiting for his moment to share it with the world.
Until then, stay safe and keep dreaming.
