"Since I was born in a very humble family, I could not pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I dropped out of school at class four because I had no family support and lacked fees. Besides, I was forced to get married and establish my own family. Accordingly, we have been struggling to make ends meet. Unfortunately, we could not afford to pay school fees for our children - most of them could not even complete thier primary school studies. Had I completed my studies and become a teacher, we could be enjoying better standards of living. Hence, the biggest hardship I have faced in life is lack of funds to pursue my dream course."
