I dropped out of high school at form three aged just 16 years old. This was after I got into the family way but the man responsible would end up being my husband.

I was a bright and promising student and my parents were enraged having invested in my education only for me to disappoint them. They showed me the door and left with no choice, I ended up in marriage at a young age.
