The reason I changed secondary school was because I was doing very well in my class. I always topped the class. I knew those days that I wasn’t reading or working so hard. One day I told my mum that it’s either I’m a genius or I am in the wrong school. I felt like I wasn’t challenged. I was barely 15 years old. I felt like I needed to know if I was that good or was it just because I was in the village and I was a village champion.
The story of how I started to survive in medical school was that when I was in secondary school, even though I got some help from one organisation, I would buy salt in bags so I could sell and I was making enough money. Every weekend and during the holidays, I would buy iodised salts in bags and I would hawk it in the market. I made money to buy books and sometimes, something nice like school sandals or bag. I saw from secondary school that I could actually make money by doing some business.
