how it started

A girl from a small town came to the big city with her mom, a single mother with a little brother. We stayed with my uncle then and grandma came to visit sometimes. Travelling to and from the two towns made schooling hectic cos I always have to start all over again and again.

Sometimes eating three square meals was even a problem, but my mom always made sure we get something to eat before bed.

Life wasn't that bad for my little family until mom moved out of my uncles house and then it all started.

Mom had to leave my little brother to me and go out to work, sometimes we go with her to work, and it wasn't easy.

I had older siblings tho but never got to see them often, in the midst of the problems a woman decided I stayed with her, and she will in turn take me to school as I was not doing so at that time.

I packed up, and went and it was great staying with her, but it came with so much troubles. Anytime something get missing I'm accused of taking it even if I wasn't around, it continued till I couldn't take anymore, so I left when she went to town one day.

When I turned 12, I went to stay with a very rich couple, and they had a 2 years old boy at that time and the woman was pregnant when I went there.

I was so happy then and things went well, they were good to me. I couldn't go out like I used to, but everything is done like family.

I was part of their family, we went to the beach together, shopping together and even sometimes went on trips too,, and it felt wonderful during the stay there.

She gave birth to a baby girl after some months that I went to stay there, and it was great.

Birthdays are celebrated every year, and I was also schooling in a big school as well. It wasn't easy sometimes, but I still managed, sometimes staying up late to wait for her husband to back from work because she is asleep and being scolded so many times for something's I didn't even do .

I stayed till junior high school but there were so many things I went through that I wanted to end it so many times but just didn't get courage to, in my last year as a junior high student, she didn't want me to take part in the final exams, so I had to find means and ways to leave because then things were not so good there. A man staying in the same house tried to sleep with me so many times and I didn't even have the courage to tell her because I was afraid, so to me, it was my chance to leave for good.

I indeed left and went back to stay with my mom and stepdad but regretted ever going back, so I moved to stay in my school till I completed junior high.
