Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that I succeeded in redeeming my professional Certficate from a Teachers' Training College, without which I could never be considered as a Teacher due to lack of proof. It happens that just 1 month ago, I missed the Recruitment excercise for Teachers since I did not have my Certificate by then. Two, currently my family stays in a plastered house which is safer, unlike a few months back when our house was made of mud and we had insects coming in , and we even killed snakes on some occasions. Thank you very much GD.
