He is passionate about education

The young man said that despite what the boy is burdened with, he has a strong passion for education.

He said:

"Sometime last week, I met him again and as usual, he has his note books as he hawked Plantain for his poor mother, yet was doing his assignments, he immediately caught my interest because I understood that as a repeated practice, he has a very burning passion for education... I was inspired to ask him just few questions to understand his background and his reason for his repeated reading habits. Then I found out his strong quest for academics is unquenchable despite his poor background."
