Everyday People PNG : Phelameya Haiveta

I came from a single parent home and had a tough childhood. I persevered to get my degree when I was also expecting my son in final year. I succeeded in both.

I achieved my milestone through the support of my very close friends at school, and the kindness of other benefactors. A positive mind-set, and also loads of determination, hope and the attitude of never giving up saw me through my darkest days.

I grew up in an unstable home, so I had self-esteem and anxiety issues. This I compensated for with overachieving academically.
