Bachelier de l’année académique 2020-2021
I am a 22 years old lady, with aspirations of becoming a world renowned journalist. As a child, I watched my parents go through all sorts of challenges just to see me through school. My dad used to work at the bank and my mum was a business woman. When my dad died and my mum was left all alone to fund my studies, it felt as if things will never get better. Later my mum remarried and my step dad tried all he could to see that I finish secondary school. I have graduated from secondary school successfully all thanks to God and my parents. Waking up every morning knowing that my dreams of becoming a journalist is on the line all because my parents cannot afford sending me to the university, breaks my heart. The only thing I have now is the hope that I will one day be granted a scholarship that will see me through school so as to give me a future that will elevate my family from poverty.
