I was alone most of the time as I was living away from my parents with my grandfather. Despite being a small kid‚ I have been self-reliant in many things. I hardly went to others seeking for any kind of help. I tried to manage everything on my own. This was good in a way‚ but I also carried a lot of undue pressure‚ as I began to
