It was our responsibility to share, even though it was not required of us to share what we had with others. As youngsters, we expected our mother to prepare the food at home often she had purchased the groceries. In order to prevent anyone from feeling overwhelmed, we divide up the duties. We used to even purchase items from neighbourhood stores by exchanging cash for the goods we purchased.
Being and Belonging

But my adorable Mom makes me felt relaxed by her words. She also told me that it won't be the end of the road if I didn't make it to my results. That was the only thing encouraged me to relax and expect anything to my matric results.
