Most of my childhood memories are unforgettable as my school life was not the best. I experienced verbal and physical bullying since elementary that went on till high school. This made it difficult for me to have any close friends. I worked to improve my mental health, and very soon, I had begun socializing and eventually made some great friends.

I grew up without developing any special habits for myself. But I was always told that I am focused on my goals and I can achieve the goals I set my eyes on. Once I make up my mind, I find out ways on how to achieve them. I value the bond that I share with my family as they are the most precious people in my life. We back each other up through times of difficulties. We understand that each of us is busy in our life; however, that has never stopped us from ignoring the other members.

We are always together, both in good and the bad times, helping us create happy memories. My
mother has inspired me in many ways, and I draw my strengths from her. She is the first person I
look for when I am experiencing trouble in my life. At the same time, she is also the closest
person who is happy to see me smile. I have created a balance between my work and personal
life because I am open to various activities.

My family, being supportive, understand that I have certain roles and responsibilities to fulfill at
the workplace. They, therefore, schedule our family time around it. This way, I get to give my
time to my parents without being distracted while I work. I had my share of setbacks besides
having achievements such as being a lecturer at a University. Post these setbacks, I set out
towards a new goal.

I did regret changing my path as I had thrown away my previous achievements to start something
new. It was risky, but it worked out in the end, and I couldn’t be any happier. Even today, men
seem to believe that they are better than women in certain aspects of work. This is in spite of
women have proved themselves to be better by displaying various abilities. If I had a
superpower, I would want the ability to control the minds of people who question the abilities of
a woman.

As of now, the focus is on encouraging women and their abilities. There are independent women
out there who are struggling and need a platform to prove their worth. Every woman is capable
of greatness, and the fact that we are born as women is enough for us to believe that.
