Because of Extreme Poverty that my family has experienced, finishing college was really a fantasy for me. But because of God’s love and mercy, that became achievable.
I finished a course that I really dream and that is to hone young minds and help kids develop their God-given talents.
I offer my success first is to God who is the Author of my life. Second is to my family who became my inspiration and motivation to keep going. Third is to Bright Lights Teachers and Staff and to all sponsors of the organization all over the world.
Because of their unified efforts to help unfortunate children like me, I became an even better person that God intended me to be.
