MYSELF
Adult, M, from Monrovia, Liberia

"At the age of 8, my life took an unexpected turn when I had to leave my uncle's home in Zwedru and return to my parents due to financial difficulties my uncle was
facing. When I was with my parents, going to school was a positive experience, and they showed me their love. I began my primary education, and everything was fine.
After completing primary school, I began attending secondary school in a nearby town. During my time at the secondary school in Dougee Town, I consistently performed well academically, thanks to the knowledge and wisdom that God has blessed me with. I was proud to be an overall top student at the end of every school year, and my hard work culminated in a remarkyable achievement when I dominated the school in the year of my graduation from the junior high section.
When I graduated from school in Dougee Town, I went to attend senior high in another town, but things got harder. I began to encounter spiritual problems, and my attention to school was taken away from me. I stopped going to school and even sat down for two years.
However, after some months , my uncle sent for me to come to Monrovia for schooling, and I am grateful that I was able to start my education again. I appreciate the opportunity to continue my studies and am looking forward to the future."

06/17/2026great story. it's reallly cool to hear this because I'm also originally from Liberia. I understand and know all this hardship you'er talking about. Liberia is a hard place, but if you put your mind to it, you can rise out of the dust. I was adopted, but I still miss home! I love Monrovia. my missionary family lived in Gbarnga but we always went to monrovia for vacation. Have you ever heard of ELWA?
