A lot of child soldiers lose their minds.
I'm still a soldier, fighting with my pen and paper for peace till the day I cease.
I am proof that one person can rise above any challenge, and if I can, then so will others if they are given the chance.
I'm kind of weird - I don't get excited. Sometimes I fake that I'm excited just to make people happy.
When you see a Sudanese walking on the street, there is a story.
