My story

480 Words
Growing up my parents were very rich but I never ask anything from them. It’s always my big brother who has high demands. In the family I was not the favorite even though I was the last baby of the house. In 2016 life took an unexpected twist when my father lost his job and my mom is the only working. Due to this my father withdrew his life savings to help the family. My mom’s business started having milestones. My father don’t work, my brother is in 9th grade whiles I’m in the 5th grade. School fees started increasing since we are changing grades. Life was still hard but we push through. When I reached the 12th grade a wealthy man in our community promised to take care of me to reduce my father’s burden. I was soo happy when I heard. This man took care of me till when I completed school now I’m about to enter high school. In every high school they provide you with list of things you’re expected to bring, the cost of this things are expensive but this man came through for me. As a teenager , I was working hard cause there’s no money home. After vacation I came home as usual. I joined classes to further my studies. But I still need a job. I searched everywhere but couldn’t find a job. I left my parents house to take care of myself cause even if I stay there I won’t eat. Right now the 15 year old teenager is now a bread winner. I dropped out of the classes to do odd jobs in other to get paid. I tried ghostwriting but the story didn’t sell out. Right now the only thing I can do is to go back to the wealthy man. One faithful afternoon I went to this man’s office as usual to collect money. When I went there what he told me was before I will get the money he wants to assault me before I will get it. I stormed out angrily out of his office because he is about the same age with my father. In my life I have been living with a principle that I won’t let’s anyone touch me unless my future husband. I continue doing odd jobs sending money home but it came to a point where the money itself I don’t see some and I’m also not able to send. I know you’ll ask about my big brother right? My big brother involved himself in criminal activity so I’m the only hope now. What about my parents? They were too old to function now so I have to work and school in other to send them some. After going through stress and help I decided to go back to the man and what happen next ruined my mental health till now
