my struggle for an education long

The English State INSTITUTE of learning

Q. What difficulties did the writer face to achieve the goal of his life?

Ans. On hearing the conversation of two miners working in a coal mine Brooker T. Washington decided to go to Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, situated in Verginia. At the time of departure he had a small cheap bag, containing few clothes. At that time the health of his mother was so weak that the could not hope to see the face of her mother again, after coming from the Hampton Institute. Thus, the parting between the mother and son was full of sorrow and sadness.
Into each life some rain must fall some days must be dark and dreary [Long fellow]
Since he was poor so by walking on foot and begging rides in wagons and cars he reached the City of Richmond. When he reached the city of Richmon it was late nigh and he was hungry. dirty nor any relative or familiar in that city so he could not stay in lodge. Knowing nothing better to do he began to walk in the streets of Richmond.
There are no gains without pains [Adalli Stevenson]
He continued his walking till after midnight. When he was completely exhausted he come to the Foothpath, which was a little high. Having his bag under this head as a pillow the writer lay down on the ground to pass the night. He could not sleep soundly.
The next morning he found himself near a large ship. Pig-iron was being unloaded from the vessel. Inspite of being hungry he worked hard on the ship for a small amount perday. To save money he continued sleeping beside the road so that he might go Hampton.
Success often come to those who dare and act (J.L. Nehru).
When he reached Hampton Institute he presented, himself before the head teacher. Without proper food, bath and change of clothes for a long period he failed to win the heart of the head teacher. She neither admitted him nor refused him so he felt discfort in his heart.
Sweeping of the recitation room, won the heart of the head teacher so she permitted him to get admission. In this way he got success in his mission inspite of a number of problems on his way.

Thus, in brief, these were the difficulties, faced by the writer to ge of his life.
