A Glimpse Into My Life (Let Go and Let God)

Chapter 18

Few months has passed and we were done with all that school stress. West African Secondary School Certificate Examination for short WASSCE, mock and everything in between.

Yessss! Finally we're free, now we get to leave this hell hole behind and have a normal life.

That last word wasn't for me. I don't  think my life will ever be normal. Nothing about me is normal. Now I'm struggling to pay the teachers balance and my graduation fee and then college.

Hodge and I never really had a discussion about any of those things yet. He said his next visit, we'll settle the graduation fees and then talk about my college.

This man is the reason I can smile at least. He's really suffering here and Maryland is his escape route. I wish I had one.

When I graduate, I want to become something great. I want to go to college and learn and take my family to the next level. At first I wanted to become a Doctor but that'll be so long and seeing my mother condition made me chose otherwise.

I'll become a Therapist and Psychologist. I want to save lives, help people and be able to hear their stories.

I'll also become an author of books, I'll write to uplift and inspire people who are going through a lot. But really, I want to be rich and famous. I want to live the fancy life and have nice things.

Dear lord, please make my prayers come true. Please don't forsake me. You said even if our father or mother forsake us lord, you'll take care of us.

I read my bible every night, even though I don't have chance to go to church but I do read and pray every night. One day, my story too will change.

Few days later, we received a call that Hodge Ramy Lotts passed. God!
