This boy is using his rubber slipper as an eraser.
My story is almost the same.
I was raised by my farmer parents.
I'm the youngest among their eight (8) children.
In my experience, I didn't use my sleeper back then but I know the feeling and the struggle of having nothing so during my young age, I used to improvise allot.
Instead of a slipper,
I made a thick loops of a rubberband on my pencil head. That's how I have made my improvised eraser.
Our poverty became my motivation not an excuse to finish my studies.
Hopefully, I'm going to finish my MBA soon
