"I had a childhood dream of one day becoming a lecturer but unfortunately this dream was short-lived due to my parent's inability to pay for my school fees. As a result, I had to drop out of school and started engaging myself in casual labour to atleast help my parents in catering for my younger siblings. Getting a good job has been very difficult due to my level of education and this for me is the biggest hardship I have ever experienced. "
