Nicholas
enrolled.
"The biggest hardship I have faced in my life is having dropped out of school in the year 2006, due to our poor background. My father could not afford to finance my transition to secondary school. I knew from that moment that I was dependent on myself so as to fend for my needs. The life I wished for has only become a dream and things would have been different had I acquired secondary and university education. "
