I belong to Vijayawada where I live with my brother and mother. My father passed away due to a heart attack when I was in my third grade. Due to financial problems, I discontinued my studies after 1st year of graduation, while my brother is currently in the third year of his Engineering. I used to share a good bond with my father. When he passed away, we struggled a lot to come out of that pain. My mother would run a small business but she was forced to stop it due to losses. As of now, I have a stable job to support my family of three. I also want to continue my studies through a distance course, so that I become all the more independent. We manage to save some money after meeting our expenses every month. Now that both my brother and I earn, my mother wishes to set up a small scale business again and I hope she succeeds this time!
