Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I will soon own a home which I never thought I would one day have because I have no one to look up to after my husband passed on. Currently I live in a tiny house in my brothers in-law's compound. I am so excited knowing that I will soon be in my own compound where I will be able to make important decisions such as when to cultivate without fear or waiting for someone else to make the first move.
