My Life as a Banker: A Life Worth Living is a wonderful story detailing how the author started at a clerical level and rose to a senior position, solely based on her dedication, hard work, and intelligence.
Brenda Mohammad describes how manual work was transformed into computerization, her work at different branches, and her working relationship with her colleagues
Her farewell party from her fellow workers describes how popular she was during her stay with them.
It was interesting to note, as a tradition, the groom used to write a letter to the bride's father to seek permission to marry his daughter.
This is what happened when her husband proposed to her.
The description of her marriage is so beautiful and emotional.
Brenda had extensive travelling in the United States and Europe;
I enjoyed her visits to Germany and the Netherlands the most.
Close-knit in her family, and how her parents and her siblings took care of each other, is worth reading.
It was touching to read how her father talked to all of his children separately before his death.
Brenda's belief in God is remarkable.”
