"The biggest hardship that I have ever faced in my life is that I was not able to continue with my education. This is because I could not understand the lessons that were being taught. Even though my parents were able to pay for my fees, I had to drop out and as a result, my dreams of becoming a teacher could not be achieved. Currently, I rely on the proceeds from my chicken so that I can meet my needs."
