BEING "CRAZY"

I was the only one in my village to study English. My family and friends thought I was crazy for doing so and didn't appreciate it.

I couldn't afford English classes, but I pushed myself to study alone. Probably at least 60% of my hardships was due to deep poverty; yet, every time I felt down, I encouraged myself to bounce back up and study over and over again.
