Lead image https://unsplash.com/s/photos/introduction Good evening everyone My name is Grace am a Yoruba girl from Ondo state, am a graduate from the school of health, I studied environment. I did almost all my life in Ondo state while I was living with my mom. I finish my secondary and primary school in info before moving to Lagos to complete my studies. When I moved to Lagos I was living with my brother (my mom's junior brother) and his wife along with two kids named tomilola and tiwalola, I love to call them Tee, and I got to Lagos there was nothing to lay my hands on so am always at home taking care of my brother's children. This has been my work for good two years and my brothers always tell me not to worry that I will get work then am rest assured with her words and meanwhile if I want to look for work by myself I don't think it will be successful because I don't know anywhere in Lagos then. An idle hand they say is the workshop of a Satan, then since I don't have anything am doing all I do is to take care of the house and kids after taking them to school I always branch Cyber Cafe to browse since am jobless nothing to think of back then. So I got to know my boyfriend from the cafe and since I now have a boyfriend I no longer think of working no knowing that am wasting my future from my present life. I always visit the cafe to chat online for some house before going to pick my brother's children from school and both my brother and his wife always come home late at night I wasn't bothered in fact am always happy because I would have walk all the whole Lago before they back from work. Until one day that my brother's wife came home early and she didn't meet me at home, then when I returned I just met my bags outside the gate but I stood there to wait for my brother so that I can enter into the house. But when my brother came he first gave me the worse beating I have never received before in my life and sent me away from their house telling me that his wife doesn't want me around again. Then I cried to me my boyfriend that I know nothing about so that I can have a roof over my head since I don't know anyone in Lagos and I don't have a phone to call my mom that his brother has sent me away from his house. My boyfriend took me in that night and that's how we started living together after 2 weeks he helped me to get a job in a factory where they produce attachment so I started working and saving for my school because my eyes got opened after my brother sent me packing in the middle of the night and ever since then I have been struggling for myself so that I can survive and show him and his wife that am not a failure and to prove them wrong ***There is still more to know about me but I will talk about it in my next post kindly take me as I am and I hope am welcome here*** *Thank you all for reading my first post*.
