I prioritize like that because I I have been doing this business of buying and selling clothes and I have the knowledge and skills required to run it well so I will invest more into this business so that I have more profit and a stable income. Secondly, I will save some of this cash for any emergencies and for future use because saving is also important and lastly, I will use part of this cash to pay my house rent because it is also important and I wont be chased of by my landlord.
Describe your biggest worry.
My top concern is getting caught by the County Council police because if they catch me they can take all my clothes that am supposed to sell and it means I won't have done my usual business and hence no profit for that day because I will also have to pay them some cash for them to release my items. Secondly, not able to get daily subsistence is also my worry because it means I won't be able to get my daily needs. Lastly, achieving my goals is also my concern because if I don't achieve my dream it means I will forever be the same person with no future.
What are your greatest ambitions?
My ambition in life is to be a successful designer and have a big boutique that I can also employ other youths.
