She disclosed that due to her association with the show, many producers shied from offering them other acting jobs.

She talked to her producers who allowed her to leave the show for two years before coming back and worked on the show for two years.

Waruinge disclosed that she got another opportunity to shoot for a different show which she went for a brief period and returned to Tahidi High.

When she went back to the Citizen TV production, her character, Miss Morgan had been promoted to school principal.

Waruinge recalled her cast fondly stating that they were a tight nipped group who would spend so much time together. 

"The cast was my family. We used to do everything for each other. For my baby shower they really supported me with items for the baby," she noted.
