Patience
Patience
Patience’s father was a soldier and died before she turned 3. She and her brother Luke, lived with their three older siblings and their mother until she died from a brief illness. Patience's grandmother was impoverished and was unable to care for the children, so social welfare determined that it was best that both be placed at the Rafiki Village Nigeria. That was in 2004. Today she is in the 12th grade. Patience is a good student, but she struggles in math. She says she has improved most in economics because she is working more diligently on graphs. She is on the yearbook committee and likes to design things. She is interested in studying and teaching music for her career. To work toward this goal, she is trying to learn to play several instruments.
