Countries :Malawi

Every child has a right to grow up with full support from both parents’ mother and father. Family set up gives the children security and reduces stress and it decreases the risk of psychological damage to the children. Mental health is the beginning of every creation we see good or bad for everything we see it was created in the mind first.
Growing up without my parents I have learnt why it is important to have both parents’ supports. I was born out of wedlock and then I did not understand the setup I was in, all I knew was I have a family. Until I started connecting the bits that they were my grandparents lack enough they were loving me so much and my father abandoned his responsibilities even before I was born. This time my mother have gotten married to another man who would not want to live with another child.
At the age of 4 I was happy and contented with what my then parents (grandparents) were giving me and being in rural area I did not see the gap. My uncle who lived in urban took me to stay at his home to have better studies in 2004 of which I struggled to adapt having a poor background as a child I did not have necessary exposure.
Later in 2006 I managed to start getting good grades in class and things changed for the better. It was and it is obvious that if I had no chance to locate to the urban where the quality of education was little better I would not have been writing this essay. Coming to see all the difficulties I have been through; lack of schools fees, not having proper meals for health body and brain, lack of parents support and growing up in a moral degraded environment, I would it is fortunate to be who I am today.
Today am seeing a lot of single mothers who are scattered all over in our societies, of which fathers are the same as my father who ran away from their responsibilities. This has brought havoc on the society because these children do not have a strong foundation to become responsible citizens, fathers, employees, employers, leaders and many things they can be entrusted with. That is why we have seen more population rise and criminal offenses simply because they do not care anymore.
I would want to help people take responsibility of their mess and be able to make sound decisions that can help them and their society just because they responsible for their nation, families and their surroundings.
I always believe that most of the problem we are fighting in the society today are comes from families. If we are experiencing no peace, it is simply because our homes have no peace, if we can train our children to be responsible and in all ways of sound character, we are going to close the gaps in the society. As such I am motivated to fight for my family, society, nation with the little I have just like my grandparents fought for me.
