MBALU: I am the only one who goes to school in my family.
I want to study law, in that way I can take care of my parents.
Right now, I'm 2 years delayed because my parents did not
have money to pay my school tuition. I remember that when
I was four or five years old, I saw my neighbors going to
school in uniform and I cried.
So, I decided to go to a school, without a uniform and sat in
the classroom.
The teachers never turned me away. I sat in the class and
they taught me. I waited.
When my parents had enough money by selling wood, they
were able to sign me in school.
