Melon Nyamwiza Rwancumangi Nalongo was orphaned at 15 in Uganda. She gave up school and married a man of 71. They went on to have 8 children. But Melon longed to complete her education and in her 30s, went back to primary school. Other adults in her village called her crazy. Now aged 37, Melon is in Senior Four and will be doing her O-Levels this year - she's in the same class as her eldest daughter. Melon hopes to become a teacher. (Picture credit: BBC.)
