TOUGH CHILDHOOD
At age 10 he found it very difficult to live with his impairment, resulting in him trying to commit suicide. Having survived, he attempted suicide again one year later. "In the first attempt, I took a number of medicines and in the second attempt I tried to throw myself off the balcony after I was frustrated from staying alone most of the time, as my parents were always at work and my siblings were at school." (ahram.org.eg, 2017)
