My life was very very hard because I was struggling with our home being too far from school. We had a family but we were not Christian because my dad beat people when they went to church because he liked drinking alcohol. At that time I had two brothers and me, so there were three of us. Early in the morning I had to wake up and wash my little brother, I had to take a shower and also my older brother. My Mom was struggling a lot because she was a teacher when I wanted some school fees. I asked my Mom but she told me to ask dad but dad did not have any work because alcohol destroyed his head. When I asked dad he told me that I don’t have money go tell your mother. When we knew God we were very very happy and succeeded.

When I went to the Rescue Center I was so scared, people were praying out loud in loud voices but then I even started praying like them so that is how the Rescue Center is. When I came, the matron was a very good person and she used to tell us to follow the word of God and the word of truth so that Jesus can give us a long life.

It helped my life because living without Jesus is all in vain. Knowing Jesus helped me because when I pray Jesus answers my prayers, like if I want to pass exams Jesus will answer.

My vision is that I want to be a teacher in a National High School because I like how teachers teach and how they perform as teachers. I like the job of teaching and I would like to help my parents when I grow up.
