"My primary achievement lies in making prudent use of my monthly stipend. Since I don't have a job, farming constitutes a significant part of my livelihood. While anticipating a fruitful harvest, my intention is to allocate the funds towards purchasing both food supplies and livestock. Investing in livestock not only serves as a wise long-term investment but also acts as a contingency plan should any emergencies arise. In such situations, I can sell the livestock and utilize the proceeds to support myself."

This newfound revenue will play a crucial role in meeting the essential needs of my family."
