My father is a used cloth trader and my mother is deceased. Out of the meager earnings my father makes, he struggles to see us through our education. One bad moment at our home has always been when school is about to resume. It is usually very pathetic to watch my father almost humiliating himself to ensure we go to school. However, considering the fact that my father is just a trader and the fact that we are many, I can predict that we may just become victims of the routine school dropout ( especially at or after the JHS level ) which has characterized the educational trend in my village. When I look at the toil of my father and how far I have suffered to get to this point, quitting is not an option I want to consider. I desire to further my education because I know that educating myself as a youth today means a responsible adult tomorrow. I pray that someone somewhere will assist me to go through my Junior High School to the tertiary level so I can become the police officer I have dreamed of becoming.
