"There was no money at home. So, after SHS, I decided to find a job so I could support my family. If I decided to further my education, I'd still need money, so I had to get a job. I worked as a waitress."

Petrina said that even though working as a waitress was good, she did not like the way men who came to the eatery treated her. She stated that some of them were disrespectful.

"The disrespect, especially from men who came to the bar, was too much. When they took in alcohol, most of them misbehaved and attempted to act inappropriately. I decided to leave the job."

However, Petrina could not leave immediately and planned her exit. She saved the tips she received from customers and set aside some of her monthly salary till she had enough to buy the car

Petrina said she gave the car to a man to drive and render an account within an agreed duration. Even though the driver fulfilled his end of the bargain, the car broke down at a point.

She took it to the auto mechanics to get it fixed so she could use her car.
