I used to like school, especially English. I wanted to teach English, but my family made me enter the house and the kitchen.
I didn’t want to get married…but the decision was stringent… my father and father-in-law went to court, and my father came back to the house and told me “You’re married”. I was surprised, I knew that I would be married one day, but I didn’t know that this would be the day.
