  • THE DAY I WAS ALMOST NOT ACCEPTED
    Apr 15 2026

    In Episode 9 of Childhood Confessions, a normal holiday morning suddenly turns into one of the most important days of my life. I was rushed into an entrance exam for a new school, arrived hours late, failed maths badly, and thought the opportunity was gone.

    But through my mother’s persistence, I got a second chance.

    This episode is about pressure, unexpected opportunities, parental sacrifice, and stepping into a new environment that would challenge me in ways I never imagined.

    Sometimes the moments that look like failure are only the beginning of a bigger story.

  • Trying to start over
    Apr 2 2026

    This episode is about trying to start over… and slowly losing yourself without even realizing it.

    After everything that happened, I just wanted a fresh start. A new school. New people. A place where I could finally belong.

    At first, it felt like it was working. I was doing well, my teachers liked me, and for once, I felt comfortable.

    But over time, things started to change.

    The system wasn’t structured. The motivation wasn’t there. And little by little, I started slipping… from 2nd position to 6th… and then to 9th.

    This is the story of how environment can shape you, how you can lose discipline without noticing, and what it feels like to drift away from who you used to be.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, lost, or like you’re not living up to your potential… this one is for you.

  • Behind the big black gate
    Mar 11 2026

    Episode 7: Behind the Big Black Gate

    After my father died, we moved into a big house as caretakers. From the outside, people thought I came from a rich family, the tall black gates, the large compound, the good school uniform.

    But behind those gates, my reality was very different.

    In this episode, I share the story of childhood bullying, silent fear, and what it felt like to carry pain that nobody else could see.
