"I eventually landed at Kenya High School where I was voted by the teachers as the most likely to fail in life," Radull said laughing off the incident.
The school would reach out to her 20 years later requesting that she join the Board of Management.
"Those teachers have since gone, I don't know why they had those informal votes because it was in very bad taste," she told Churchill during the interview.
Carol Radull admitted to struggling while at the school attributing this to the change in systems from the South African education system to the Kenyan one which she described as tough.
"I hated school and couldn't wait to finish," the celebrated journalist said describing herself as 'not a fan of school'.
She would immerse herself in sports as an escape from reality and became an established swimmer and badminton player.
Her prowess saw her represent Kenya High School in both sports to the national levels.
The former Radio Africa journalist opened up one of her most difficult moments in life after she lost her younger brother George to cancer while she was in form 4.
"That was in the 80s when doctors in Kenya knew nothing about cancer and they would treat symptoms not disease," Radull said.
A couple of years later, she lost her father to the same disease.
She has since become an active campaigner against cancer and describes herself as a cancer soldier.
Radull also opened up on marriage after her divorce in 2016.
"Relationships teach you the art of patience," she told Churchill saying that she had grown apart from her husband and decided to move on.
