Bernard is an A student from a family of eight. He is the second born with 2 brothers and 3 sisters. His father is a temporary bus driver and his mother is a vegetable vendor. The burden of paying for his siblings' fees stretches the family's income to a point Bernard says they don't have enough to eat and that the home environment is not conducive for his studies; thus, he prefers staying at school than being at home. He has his eyes set firmly on becoming an architect.
