Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my day is that I managed to clear the debt I had at my child's school because it used to worry me. Two, I am delighted in the fact that soon we will build our house in our own home and relocate from my father in law's compound, and this we always planned but had no means due to high cost of educating our children, GD has facilitated us to achieve this goal sooner than expected, thank you.
