You take us through a variety of feelings here, as we walk with you in this rapidly changing period in your life. The advice you received was very well timed, it is hard to read that you were treated so cruelly in the exchange between the older man and your group of friends. Luckily, your guardian was there with words of strength for you when you returned home.
Your hard work and dedication carried you far, and eventually you caught a break when your boss helped you with school! Wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story with us, and for your engagement with other members of the community.
I went through different phase of emotions truly but with the mental support of my family, guardian and a few other people around me, I was able to have a break through that changed my story for good.
