My name is Samantha Khakai, I am 17 years old. I live with my dad, my brother and my grandmother who act as a guardian to me and my brother. My parents separated after few years of their marriage and I was forced to live with my mother. It was hard for me because I realised my mother uses uses tobacco. I became so desperate and I did not know what to do. Living with my mum since class one to class eight was too difficult for me because sometimes I was told to go back home since I lacked school fees. I came to knw my dad when I finally finished my KCPE exams and the results was out. That was the time he wanted to pay my school fees. Although I performed very well, it was not enough for him. So he decided to take me to Dandora Secondary School. It was hard for me to go to a nearby school since I had 331 marks and some of the students who were behind me had gone to better schools. So, when I reached Form 3, my dad hard difficulties on paying the fees since my grandmother was sick and my brother had to go to college. For now, my dad us unable to pay my school fees. I will be glad if you help because I will do my best to help others after school.
