Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I am now settled. I used to roam around the village begging for money in order to educate my children and the villagers used to jeer me because of this. They used to treat me with prejudice, slander and disdain but thanks to GD for creating a big difference in my life that has enabled me overcome shear profanities.
