"giving Up Is Not An Option" I Am Ajok Sheila Lanyero, 21 Years Old. My Journey Began In 2015, When Life Turned Upside Down. My Mother-our Only Source Of Hope-faced Financial Hardship. But I Refused To Surrender. In High School, I Hid In Toilets To Avoid Being Sent Home For Unpaid Fees. I Washed And Ironed Other Students' Uniforms To Survive. A' Level Was Even Tougher; I Spent More Time At Home Than In Class Because Of School Fees. After School, I Fetched Water-20 Litres On My Head And 10 In My Hands-competing For More Trips To Earn A Little More. I Joined Campus Late, But Sadly Dropped Out Due To Tuition Struggles. I Started Working. Some Jobs Were Toxic, Full Of Pressure And Harassment, But I Endured. I Had To Support My Mother, Educate My Little Sister, And Pay My Rent. Through It All, I Learned One Thing-giving Up Is Not An Option.
