I had a very trying time going through a divorce and relocating with my children from the village where i was eaching to the city.I opted to stay off camphus as i was coming to stay also with my children.University offers accomodation only to the student not the family.So the first year everything was fine and life became tough the second year as i was earning half my salary education policy.It was difficult to make ends meet ,what with an ex husband who did not pay for maintenance of the children.Despite all this challenges i have made it im about to complete varsity and hope to enroll for my masters programme.
