After matriculating, I furthered my studies in a tertiary institution. Around that time, I lost interest in going to church. I preferred being with my friends. I started drinking alcohol and smoking dagga.
I enrolled at a tertiary institution, but had to drop out because of financial difficulties. I could not afford my tuition fees. I applied for jobs in various places but nothing worked. I was unemployed for more than five years.
My father passed away when I was five years old and my mother was a domestic worker. She struggled to make ends meet until she retired. My older sister had to take care of us. I dropped out of school in grade 11 to look for a job to take care of my family.
