Some years back I became a victim of acid bath. I wasn’t too bothered cos I was still tender, I stayed at d hospital for like a year and six months, I came out I had to face d world with d help of my parents, I started school. People will see me, they will be scared. It was quiet challenging. I will ask myself, will I make it wit this condition? My sweet mum will encourage me, ‘swt hrt u will make it.’ I will smile and be happy, at least I will make it but my fear was, ‘will I be beta?’ she will tell me I will. I entered sec school I paired with people. Some will like to relate with me, while some won’t still. it did not stop me from moving on. Some will ask, ‘does she have a boyfriend? Do u know y, cos they feel no one will love her with a scar on her face. I will laugh still I moved on. People were asking many questions about me cos I amaze people. It’s God’s grace at work in my life, D funniest of all is that my enemies did not know I will move on this big and I will surprise them making it bigger and letting d whole world know that, having a scar on your face doesn’t stop u from shining. #Proud of myself # #come into my world and experience a real happiness #”
