Blessed

Blessed has been attending school at Faith Junior Academy. Blessed loves being in school, her favorite subjects are Social studies, Agriculture, and Science and Technology. However, her studies are affected by her mother’s inability to keep her in school due to financial constraints. Her mother works as a house help, she works thrice a week, hence the Income she gets is meager to pay for her school fees as well as cater for her other needs.

They live in an old house made from concrete and timber, the house is divided into a living room, two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a washroom which serves as both toilet and bathroom. The living room is furnished with a pair of old seats, a table, and a television. Blessed shares a bed with her mother while the elder sister sleeps in the other room. Blessed lives with her mother and an elder sister. She also has an eldest sister who apparently doesn’t live with them.
When making meals they use refillable gas, and they are able to access water in their house which is inclusive of the rent. The house as well is connected to electricity which they pay via meter number, hence blessed is able to do her evening studies.
The mother mentions that it’s been really tough on her now that she is the breadwinner of her family, and the income she gets is meager and barely enough to sustain her and her kids. She says life has been really tough on her, especially after covid struck the country. Blessed is a bright student whose capability in studies can’t go unnoticed, she as well is not a dull girl.
She is a lover of music and dance, during her leisure time, you will always find her dancing or singing. She also is a foodie her favorite food is rice and green peas. She too has big dreams of thriving in the future in becoming the best actress in Hollywood. Her zeal for success is greatly Impetus, while all she needs is a support system with her studies to make this a dream come true.
