Thank you for sharing this powerful story with us. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write it?
I chose this topic because this is something that has happened to me in my life and I know that it happens to other people too. Someone proposed to me that he loves me and I didn't feel the same.
A group of students and I recently attended a graduation ceremony in Kampala for online gig workers.

Thank you for sharing this powerful story with us. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write it?
My story is called “Suffering.” My father’s name is Shika Demzungu and my mother’s name is Jeanne Kiza. I chose to tell this story so that I can teach people, through my life history, that in this world many fathers and even mothers leave their families in different situations.

My story is about my life with my best friend and how she became such a person of worth in my life. It is a true story. It is not imagined. In my story, I talk about my friend who gave me sadness. I trusted her and she showed me hurt I didn’t deserve. This taught me about people. I hope my readers learn that trusting people isn't always good enough.
Thank you for sharing this powerful story with us. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write it?
I chose to write what I am going through as a young girl to archive my goals and experiences. I hope my readers will take a good message from it. I would also like to share my story with those who live lives such as mine.
Thank you for sharing this powerful story with us. Could you tell us about what inspired you to write it?
My story is a true story and not from the imagination. I have written this story about the death of my father, and how my family went from a bad life to a good life. You must understand how life can change and you must work hard in life because life is like a circle.
Life was good in our village of Kamituga in the district of Mwenga, DRC. I lived there with both of my parents, my three sisters, and my brother. I was the firstborn. Mugoli, my sister, was next, then Bife, my other sister, and last came my brother, John. My parents enjoyed catering to my siblings and I, and showing us care and love. Life was not hard. We had our own house, clothes, and a bicycle.

I'm writing about the man who used to chop wood in the village. The wood was useful to people here. People used his woods to build houses, burn charcoal, and for domestic use. I chose this topic because one of my friends was a chop wood cutter. I want my readers to know the way of living in the village where I live.
