00:11You said your mom abandoned you.
00:14Abandoned?
00:15Yes.
00:16My mom told me to go to school.
00:21My mom doesn't work anymore
00:27because she used to have an illness.
00:29She had cancer.
00:32I wanted to educate myself.
00:38How did she abandon you?
00:41Your mom couldn't take it anymore because she got sick.
00:44Yes.
00:45She got a serious illness so she couldn't educate herself.

01:03I wanted to educate myself.

01:12You wanted to pursue yourself.
01:14Yes.
01:15How old were you when you started educating yourself?
01:21I was 18.
01:23I was a varsity player.
01:26I didn't have to play.

01:40It's true that there are a lot of people who want to study
01:44but they can't continue because they can't send their students to school.
01:49But using your skills and talents,
01:53you can become a scholar.
01:55Some are scholars because they're choir members or singers.
01:58We hear that term a lot.
02:00Athletes.
02:01Yes.
02:02How hard was it for you to provide for yourself at an early age?
02:10She's 20 now.
02:12You started working when you were 18.
02:15Yes.
02:16How hard was it?
02:17What was running through your mind?
02:19For me, it was hard.
02:21Sometimes, when I go to work,
02:24I can't avoid discrimination.
02:27Especially with the managers.
02:29I experienced that.
02:31Sometimes, I feel weak.
02:33I just want to go home.
02:36My mom will take care of it.
02:38But when I cry,
02:40I fight back.
02:41That's what I do.
02:43I write songs.
02:45When I'm hurt,
02:47I just use singing.
02:49That's where I write everything.
