Another problem is that girls can be married off early, often4force. 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 to8 school.
Luckily, my brother helped me come to ASEW, which 9 to help girls finish school.
I saw that the headteacher was a woman and that 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 11to help at home. The curriculum was 12 so we could complete our education more quickly. It was also 13 ， protected from outsiders. It is extremely dangerous for women and girls 14 there is fighting all around Rumbek.
At ASEW, I studied hard and passed with a high score of 77 percent. I wish other girls could have 15like me to go back to school.
