"The biggest hardship that I have faced was not being able to continue with my education to the University level despite having scored very good grades. This was because my parents could not afford to pay for my college fees since they have so many other pressing needs. My dreams of becoming a lawyer were shattered and for a long period of time, i was really depressed. It hurts me a lot to see my colleagues graduating in the courses that they partook while I settle for riding a motorbike in order to make ends meet." (Occupation: Motorcycle or bicycle taxi)
