                             Episode 1

     It was a Monday morning, I woke up to the sound of my mom clapping in the sitting room at about 6:30 Am, it was time for our morning devotion, I stood up from bed, headed to the sitting room, for our morning prayers, which later didn't end well for me, because I was asked to read a bible verse, which I still wasn't able to read, got the same look from my dad as always, we had our morning prayers anyway and everybody went for their various house choice before heading to school. 

     By the way, my name is Gods power chinedu, born into the family of Mr&Mrs john chinedu, we are seven(7) in numbers including my parents, I have three older sisters and my little brother, i practically grew up with my two(2) elder sisters ( blessing and favour) due to the fact that my mom was a government worker, who works very far from home, and I only got to see her by weekends and then she goes back on Monday morning, and my little brother was with her, while my most elder sister was already schooling so she wasn't at home, and my dad was not around due to work..   Growing up was very hard for me as a child, I was seen as a stubborn & dull child by my parents and even my siblings, everything I do doesn't seem right by them, most especially my Dad, that will be all about me for now.

     So after my morning choice, I prepared for school, it Was the first term in primary (4), i got to school kind of late, and i entered my classroom, and our new teacher was asking our position In the just concluded promotion examination, she was asking seat by seat and eventually it got to me, as soon as I was asked my last position in the just concluded examination, everyone in class burst into laughter, I was actually the second to the last person, that is to say, my position was (41/42) this has always been my position, maybe this was the reason why I feel so much dislike from my parents most especially my dad, my dad and i do not gets along, because all I get from him was insult, abusive words and lots more, I can't even say anything in family conversation, because I wouldn't get any attention at all. So all through that day in school I was down and ashamed of myself, it was so  funny that at primary 4, I couldn't read a complete comprehension passage or spell well, I got home that day from school feeling down.

     Among all my siblings favour was the most celebrated, because she was more intelligent and looked more serious with education than the rest of us, she was normally refer to as daddy's girl, but for some reason not known to me, I just don't like her, the thought of her gets me pissed off, even sleeping close to her on bed gets me angry but I really do like blessing but anytime I get close to her, she just look for away to chase me out, so I just learn to stay on my own, because no body at home really want me.     

     As days go by, home became uncomfortable for me, i will go to the back of my dad house and sit down there and just be thinking of a way to leave the house, most at times I just start crying without knowing, when the thought of the constant abuse I get from my family crosses my mind, I felt they weren't my real family that my real family will come one day and take me away with them, because how could my family do not be bothered about my well being at all, when I developed an ear problem i complain to my siblings and even my dad that I couldn't hear with one of my ears but because I was a useless, stubborn and dull child in the eyes of my family, I was not only ignored by my dad, I was even making fun of by my siblings, I could remember a day, it was at night my sis(blessing) and i was watching a movie on her itel button phone, so she later put the phone on earpiece but the side in which I was to put the earpiece,was the same ear I couldn't hear with, so i placed the earpiece on my other ear, but unfortunately the earpiece became short for her, so she angrily removed the earpiece from the side which I had placed it, and returned it to the side which i couldn't ear with, so I complained to her that I couldn't hear anything from what we were watching, and pleaded with her, so we can switch places but she refuse and said if I no I want to watch the movie I should leave the earpiece like that or I should leave, but because I didn't want to be alone, I had no choice than to continue watching without sound and favour was laughing at me, calling me one ear.

     Life was getting really unbearable for me as a child,most at times I will go and carry my Ghana must go bag where I do put my clothes and trying to leave the house but my siblings will laugh and laugh at me, because they know.. I can't leave, you see I have gotten use to all kind of punishment because every little thing I do.. I get punish for it.

 the feeling of being unwanted had made me to be alone, i just go to the back of my father house and sit down there reasoning about my life and most time I do leave there with a wet eyes, so when I get to school.. I love to play a lot just to feel how being happy and surrounded with people really feels like, because I know, after school I wouldn't get that feeling at home.
