Hard decisions

When things started to fall apart, Abigail decided to dropout of school and saved up enough money to singlehandedly prepare for her unborn baby.

After giving birth, Abigail managed to find her very first job at Ikigai Coffee Bar and Deli:

After she decided to take a leap of faith, Abby applied for Government jobs and internships:

“I was shortlisted. Had to write tests and landed my first government job interview.”

She started working when Covid was still topping the charts, making Abby anxious about spreading the virus at home.
