I come froma family of 11. My father works as a casual labourer and are not very regular. This has always put the family's situation in a bad place. I hope to a successful businessman one day. Education is my best shot to achieve this dream.

Has both parents, both doing menial jobs to survive. They sell charcoal but since a ban was imposed on charcoal buiness, family has resorted to looking for other means to draw income

I live with both of my parents and they own a small piece of land which we till and the produce helps sustain the family. This is usua;lly not enough most of the time and we supplement it by my parents doing some other menial jobs as casual labourers. At times we had to interrupt our studies to help out our parents. I love playing soccer.

I love my family because of the support they give me to achieve my dreams. I am closest to my mother and sister as they are always around whenever I need them. I am talented in soccer and I love playing since it helps me grow phisically. I dream of becoming a pilot since planes fascinate me a lot. I also wish to give back to the society ina big way.
