I was born deaf and school was very difficult for me. I went to a hearing primary school and only managed to pass because my friends helped me a lot. Without them it would have been impossible! I started at secondary school, but dropped out after 2 years as I could not keep up. I went back home and didn’t know what to do, but because of family links I was able to learn how to braid hair at a salon and also learnt how to make clothes. This was a good opportunity for me and I was able to earn some money with these skills and I also taught my younger sisters!
