COLLEGE. While in grade school, she had to walk two kilometers a day to and from school. She had to pick guavas to sell to classmates in order to have money to buy paper. High school life was pretty much the same, very little money, very little food at home. And she worked long hours as a scholar to earn a college degree.

 

WORK. Now, she is the envy of her former classmates who dropped out of school. She now has a full time job and a rich boyfriend.
