My good fortune came when I was met by one of my teachers who told me due to my exceptional performance in school I was given a full scholarship by the government to study. I was very happy and I took my teacher to our home. He was very sad when he saw where we lived. He asked when we started to live here and I told him everything about myself. We waited for my mother for a very long time but she wasn’t showing up. Just when my teacher was about to take his leave, my mother’s friend sister Mumuni came over. She had this weird facial expression and I didn’t understand. When I asked her what was wrong she began to cry. I started to panic because she always returns home with my mother. I asked her where my mother was and she began to cry louder. Then I also started to cry too because I didn’t understand anything. When my teacher finally consoled both of us and we calm down, she broke the news to me. After that I didn’t remember anything else.

I opened my eyes and everywhere was blurring. But when my eyes settle in the room, I saw my teacher sitting on the sofa. When he saw me trying to sit up he came near me and smiled at me. He asked me how I was feeling and I told him I didn’t know where I was. He told me I have been in the hospital for almost a week falling in and out of consciousness. I didn’t remember anything and I had this headache that was killing me. I was trying to touch my head and he told me I fell hard when I lost consciousness. While we were still talking, a nurse came around to minister drugs to me. After she left, I felt sleepy and I didn’t remember anything after that.
