About After Johns parents separated they relocated and went to live at their grandparent’s house. His mother is a casual laborer but due to the low income she earns she is not able to provide much to John and his siblings. The grandparents are old and they do not work thus making it even harder for the mother to provide all the basic needs to the family. John at times is forced to look for casual jobs so that he may help out in providing for the family. He tends to miss classes at times as he is sent home due to lack of school fees. He wishes to continue with school without being sent home now and then. In future, he would like to be a mechanical engineer.
