I got my college certificate which was held three years ago due to fee areas at 26,000KES, I bought 18 iron sheets at 12,000KES, three goats at 6,000KES and I still have 6,000KES cash.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
I could not get a job before I got my certificate from college because it was held due to fee arrears but am now employed as a teacher because I have my certificate hence I can now get some monthly pay.
