What if you were raised on the other side of the world, where even a basic education had to be fought for, and every opportunity was a constant struggle?

She slept on the floor of her family’s home and was sometimes lucky enough to have a cardboard box as a mattress. She was set to be wed in her early teenage years, but thanks to her drive, determination, and pleading of her aunts, Yamundow was given a chance to go to high school and college and later by BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast
