He was working at a night club trying to make ends meet. It wasn't easy for him back then. His mother being blessed, she gave birth to the seven of them and he was the fourth born.
Those in front of him either dropped out of school or gnashed their teeth to send themselves to school since their mother couldn't afford. To make matters worse, their father abandoned their mother before the last born came into the world. He got scared of the many children. Sometimes Gerald wonders, if his father didn't know what was coming when he was impregnating their mother.
Anyway, he wanted a good life and to him going to school, earning a degree and then finding a good job and if possible, start his own company was the only way to go.
He would rather suffer and work hard to make that dream come true than regret it in the future simply because he had other options. That's why, he took on any part time job he could do when he wasn't studying.
