Narrating how she managed to navigate her way through the tough times, she said the whole dream started when she once spotted the photo of a college graduate on the floor.

According to her, despite being just a little girl at the time, she kept the photo and vowed to one day become just like the graduate in the said picture.

“I found the picture as a child, and I kept it on me at all times,” Teni narrated. “I really wanted to be that person someday and even though my family could not afford to pay my fees, I was ready to do what it takes. So I knew I had to find a way to fund my education myself.”
