Another problem is that girls can be married off early, often 4 force. As girls in South Sudan, we don't have the 5 to choose the person we wish to marry. Our parents 6 us to the one who pays the highest price in cows. Now more people are going hungry and marrying off girls to get cows to 7. This happened to me. My parents married me off when I was studying, and I had to 8school.
Luckily, my brother helped me come to ASEW, which 9 to help girls finish school.
The fact that the headteacher was a woman 10 me. ASEW was a school without punishment and schoolfees (学费). It was a day school, not boarding school (寄宿学校), that gave me 11 to help at home. The curriculum(课程) was 12 so we could complete our education more quickly. Protected from outsiders, the school was also 13. It is extremely dangerous for women and girls 14 there is fighting all around ASEW.
At ASEW, I studied hard and passed with a high score of 77 per cent. I wish other girls could have15 like me to go back to school.
