I did not feel the impact of a biological mother. I graduated from high school .I had to go for apprenticeship for me to learn printing and be able to put food on the table. During the period I found pleasure in buying inspiration book ,motivation tape messages and read about success stories. I discovered that I have passion for speaking, writing and inspiring people. I love to listen to people’s problems and provide solution to them.
