God really changed my life when I was twenty years old. I remember talking to my dad about studying in a foreign country which was Germany, but my dad told me “the reason why I am not financing this project is simply because you will never do anything with your life”. After all this happened, I started developing a powerful anger which led me between successive fights with my dad and I. Having a normal life was hard for me because I was confused and unstable almost all the time. The only thing I found at that period was church.
