"I am what I am because God created me this way,I was born an intersex and no will die one."said Issah sobbingly to her classmates after what was said by rumours about her nature.Issah was born an intersex where she had both female and male privates parts .The female gender was more dominant than the male gender.
She was eighteen years now and completing her BGCSE in Mmadinare High school as a boarding student .A lot of students in her school especially girls who sometimes came across her bathing were always curious to know how she felt about being born such way.Some of the students spread bad rumours about and even mocked her.She mostly faced cases of intimidation and discrimination which bruised her heart and sabotaged her feelings.Thus also dragging her spirits on the mud and swaying away her confidence and esteem.
Her childhood was also like hell, she was ill treated by her relatives but her mother never bought of abandoning her or neglecting her because she was her first child.When she grew up ,many people in the village knew how she was and always made fun of her and spat carp on her .To her she did not believe it was A disability but believed it was a blessing from God.Her mother was a single mother by then since her father refused to accept her when she was young and believed it was such a disgrace and bad omen to have a child like her.Growing up she faced many ups and downs ,many torments and trauma.
"Wow I really feel sorry for you Issah. "Said one of her classmates emotionally.Issah was already tired of her life but never thought of giving because her mother looked up to her.A thin dread always grew within her making her feel like quitting all the time.Despite the fact that she will and was ill treated by dim wits who can't accept her the way she was ,she told herself that she will make it in life.
It was sports term and she went forward to netball team where most underestimated her.Netball was her favourite sport though and she did not quit but continued tolerating the harsh torments from other rude team mates.

Letso grabbed her by the hand and went to the grounds .

" she snatched the ball in her hands and turned her back on her started her play,thus leaving Mitchell with a surprise.
"Thats my girl,show them what you have got baby," said Letso proudly.Giving all her beat to her favourite sport and surprising her enemies or so,and hitting her coaches with an impressive skills.
