I got my first phone in 2019, and before that, I faced a very difficult. As we are seven siblings it was difficult for us to buy separate phones for everyone as my father was the only breadwinner of the family, who was also bearing our academic expenses.
I remember I was used to begging my brother to give me his phone for 5 minutes whenever I needed to contact my friends. But when I was an undergraduate student, I needed a phone as there was a lot of work that we were used to doing through online groups. Furthermore, it was much needed for assignments and other purposes.
So I bought myself a phone with my own money which I collected after tutting some kids in my neighborhood and some of which was given to me by my father. Although it was not very expensive, still I was happy to have my separate phone.
I used that phone for 2 years, but later it got some serious issues that were not sorted out, so once again, I was without a phone. One day, my uncle who lives abroad called my Mom. He told her that I was not responding to his messages. I had a very good bond with him, as I was used to discussing my career with him.
So my Mom told him, that her phone had not working for a few days. Hearing this my uncle immediately ordered a phone for me which I received in a few days. I was happy to receive the phone and I thanked him for this lovely gift which I needed the most.
So it's been three years that I have been using this phone and it's still working well. It has helped me a lot not only academically but also financially, as I worked on different platforms through this phone. So it is precious to me more than any other phone.
Thanks for reading.
