During my
childhood,
entertainment
were far from my mind. The daily
survival of our
family was
foremost on my list. Not until
I was
working abroad did
I learn
to
relax an
enjoy life. My
life then was all about
selling
ready-to-eat delicacies around my neighborhood. My
routine was to
rise
up early morning and
carry the delicacies from one house to another,
hoping to sell as many as possible. Sometimes the
commission I
made
on the
sales was enough to
buy us food. Other times, I came home
crying
because I did not
sell anything that day.
Selling goods often
meant the difference between rather we could
eat or not ourselves. While
in school I often
missed the
class
since, there were too
many other priorities to be
accomplished just to survive day to day.
Despite these hard times, in the
end I was
able to
make it
through high school and graduate.
