Doing matric was not easy because I was being abuse at home by my own uncle. Every time he was shouting at us for no reason and beating my little sister. I ended up drowning myself to studying cause I told myself I don’t wanna disappoint my mom.

Life was not easy on us, but that didn’t make me to give up on my study even though I was not coping I never lost hope. I made it and got my diploma which was not something I was expecting and I was disappointed but I never lost hope. I applied to colleges and university but I got rejected, I got accepted at college.

I ended up dropping out due to not having enough money to go to college and anyone to help me to further my study. No one in my family was willing to help me even my father didn’t even bother to help me.

After dropping out I stayed at home depressed but I told myself that,it’s not the end of the world something good will come up. I applied for a job as a sale agent and I passed all interviews and tests. I also ended up leaving the job due to not having enough money to go to work and not anyone to help me.

Everything I touched turn to darkness. I applied for a college which was a distance learning and got accepted and even now I’m still busy with it. I ended up staying with my aunty which was better at first, but when times goes they start treating me like rubbish. They prefer their children more than me.

At my age I’m independent I buy things for myself starting from toiletries to clothes. I wanted to be a sex worker because of the way I was suffering but I told myself it’s not worth it, I’m not for that world.

In life never lose hope. God will provide just be patient with him even though things may be hard, just hang in there.
