00:00My father used to drink a lot.

00:02We used to cry a lot, the three of us,

00:04that you hit your mother.

00:06This is my first time.

00:08I am very excited.

00:10It's the first Olympics.

00:24Whenever we used to come home,

00:26there used to be a lot of fights between mom and dad.

00:28Sometimes they didn't even come home

00:30for a year or two.

00:40Mom took care of us alone.

00:42It's been four years

00:44since my father passed away.

00:46Mom took care of the three sisters

00:48by herself.

00:50At that time, there was nothing at home.

00:52There used to be a lot of problems

00:54in food,

00:56clothes, etc.

01:20Mom used to scold me,

01:22asking why I wasn't playing.

01:24I told her that my shoes

01:26were torn from the bottom

01:28and I couldn't run.

01:40She saw that the ball was very big

01:42and her husband,

01:44Kudip Sivaj,

01:46went to the half-time

01:48and got shoes for me.

02:00The family that I came from,

02:02my mother,

02:04everyone told me

02:06not to go, not to send.

02:08That someone will take her away.

02:10If our parents support us,

02:12the child automatically goes up.

02:14Just keep working hard.

02:16If we don't get anything,

02:18we shouldn't give up hard work.

02:26I am very excited.

02:28It feels good that I have

02:30taken care of my family,

02:32married my sister,

02:34and got a job.

02:36Mom is happy

02:38because of me.
