Our teenage life, you know, growing up only with your mother, the mother carries double the responsibility. She always took care of us. She was always a moral thinker, so she said: “You should not marry two husbands. Don’t!. You cannot have two husbands. Only one husband.” She also used to say: “Never play with that!” She told us not to be lazy and to avoid bad friendships. To come back to the house at the time, she told us, “or I will hit you.” She wanted us to have something better than what she didn’t have because her mother had died when she was young. When she was only fifteen years old, she had no mother.
So, then we came to live here, in this area. I grew up here and went to school and learned to work. I was already working when I became a teenager. And I thought it would be better to prepare myself first and then get married. However, sometimes you fall in love, and my neighbor saw that I had grown up and fell in love, so we got married. But he said, “Go study. It doesn’t matter if you’re already married. A person can progress and always help.” That’s what he always said. I did not finish my career. I got pregnant with my second child.
