What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
I became sick with chronic stomach ache while I was in Primary School and my parents used almost everything at the expense of my treatment. This left them with no money to take me to School and I ended up dropping out of School at standard seven. My aim was to pursue with my education until university level but I did not manage and that has been the biggest hardship in my life.
