I obtained my high school diploma by taking a qualifying exam (GED). At that time my parents’ business was not doing well and our family was in a bad situation. What was I to do? Instead of worrying, I decided to enter the workforce earlier than my peers. I am not that much interested in academics (laughs). I was still very young but I already wanted to find my own way in life, so when I finished middle school, I decided not to pursue high school anymore. At that time, I would take on whatever part-time job was available.
