Versatile C Barika said:
"Getting married early did not affect your dream. Getting married to the wrong man did. There are so many of our parents that got married that early and worked their way to growth together and we are products of their union."
Anetom Tennyson said:
"My mother lost her parent at early age and got married at the age of 18 and she still attended school and retired as a teacher.. I will give the credit to my dad who loves education and also my mother she never allowed her ambitions to die."

"It’s well! I regret not knowing my biological father until I was 30 years old and before my mother and I could make moves to go in search of my biological father he had passed away. Today it’s hard for me to be accepted by my step elder siblings and this is 3 years plus."
