In 2012, I lost my father. I was deeply frustrated because I was only 14 years old at the time and didn't want to continue studying. However, my mother had a conversation with me, and things started to change. Growing up without a father in a country where everyone takes advantage of you and mocks your story was very difficult. It hasn't been easy, and it still isn't today
