The Beginning

Life had not always been easy, growing up with a single mom and two sisters, Ata had to face the harshness of life at a very young age. She thought that her story was no different, that it was a part of everybody's life to grow up in so much struggles and poverty. She had big dreams like all the other kids, she played by the rules most of the times and other times she broke them. The one thing that kept her up at night most of the times as she entered her young adult life is that she had no solid plans to go with, no fixed plan that she wanted. She knew for sure that she would have to get into university, the starting point of most Namibians. This is her story.
