Yvonne loves studying, reading, and writing short stories. She comes from a family of five children and is the second born. She comes from a poor family with emotional wounds, because she does not know her dad and her mother refuses to answer questions about him. Her mom did not attend college, does not have a job, and has a serious blood pressure illness. Currently, they are with Yvonne's grandmother because they have no place to live. Yvonne struggles to pay school fees and have basic school materials.
