"Whose call was that mom?" I asked tensed looking at my mother's blank expression.
"The bank officials. They're auctioning the house." She said emotionlessly.
The notice was sent for the third time this year. Every time we received a notice, my parents took a loan and cleared the dues. But the debts just kept piling up. Growing up in a financially unstable environment can be difficult, especially when the monthly dues exceed the salary the household earns. Things are a lot worse when you're a child abuse victim.
I never had the same exposure in school as an average high school student would. Our teachers rarely approached education out of the usual academic sense. There were barely any extracurricular activities and those conducted were merely due to our repeated pleas.
Growing up in dire conditions like these had the opposite effect of what someone would've expected. As a child, sure I had issues and emotional outbursts but as time passed I only grew into a stronger person.
I never swallowed myself in self pity. I chose to rise above my abuse, learn from my parents' mistakes and tackle problems pragmatically. I saw no need to complain of lack of finance or inadequate resources. I am determined about the goals that I've set for myself and I know the journey is not going to be a walk in the park. But if there's one thing that I've learnt through these years it's that nothing in life ever comes easy and I will do everything possible to reach my destination.
