Content creator Scanty has shared the difficulties he faced as a child after his father passed away.
The loss of his father was the lowest point in the life of Ghanaian content producer Scanty, who has shared this story.
It was really difficult to live with a single mother and additional siblings because the mother had to look after all the children.
Scanty, a protégé of Kwadwo Sheldon, recounted everything on the social media app X, claiming that his worst experiences occurred in 2015 when he was fired from school one week before examinations.
He knew that his mother was having trouble providing for his siblings at home, so he didn’t even bother to call and make matters worse.
He finally made the decision to go home and notify his mother because the teachers would not stop pursuing the children who owed money for school.
He noticed people sobbing from a distance when he was almost at home, and it turned out that his older sister had died two days prior.
How Scanty Told His Tale:
Raised by a single mother, I was sent home for not paying my school fees. When I returned, I discovered my sick sister had passed away two days prior. Scanty Remembers Tough Times
Scanty has shared some of his worst days growing up, when his mother was having trouble providing for them.
He claims that in 2015, he was dismissed from school for unpaid tuition, but he declined to return since he knew his mother was already having difficulty providing for his siblings.
After deciding to leave the teachers because the humiliation was too much for him, he noticed people sobbing from a distance and learned that his older sister had died two days prior.
2015. A week before my examinations, I was fired for unpaid fees, but I never
2015. They fired me for fees a week before my exams, but I never contacted home because my mum is a single parent and we were having financial difficulties at the time. My siblings were also in school. She wanted the best life for us, but there wasn’t enough money, so calling would only make her day worse. So I didn’t tell anyone anything.
When we had unpaid tuition, our teacher would treat us like thieves. They convince us in dining halls, schools, and even early in the morning in dorms. I chose to return home because the disgrace was too much. When I arrived home and saw everyone in tears, I realised that my older sister had died two days prior.
I thought to myself, How would I request fees in this circumstance? I went back to school, played hide-and-seek, and wrote my examinations without letting anyone see me. I always leave class when I see our teacher approaching with a list.
The Mawuli guys are familiar with me; back home, I used to study with a great deal of aggression, agony, and determination to disprove everyone. We don’t even bring food to school; we rely on the dining hall to make ends meet. If I go missing, it will be the end of me. However, we are still here and active today.
I don’t know how I handled it, so I can’t tell you, but God was there from the beginning. It’s true that I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, but life wasn’t easy after my dad passed away. We strained to make ends meet, and I still owe money to the school.
