Greenville High

This mail sat comfortably on the screen of her second hand laptop. She didn't know how to react. If she should be joyous or not. There was a need for her to further her education since her younger siblings were looking up to her. Their mother died due to cancer but as for their dad he is nowhere to be found.

She stayed in a one room apartment which she managed to get after working for months at a coffee shop. She applied for scholarships and eventually she gained one and got the opportunity to attend one of the biggest high schools in the country.That school was known as the school for rich kids. But here is the case she is far from being rich, which made her develop the fear of being ridiculed in school.

But she had no choice than to accept fate and get enrolled. She was prepared to face all the challenges, struggles and bullies that will be thrown at her. She was a young lady with bigger ambitions hence she needed to gather all it takes in order to achieve them.

Her siblings Arianne and Joshua were living with their maternal grandparents in another state. Hence she had the liberty to go about her daily activities. She worked full-time at a coffee shop to earn some money which helped in paying her bills and buying groceries.

Life indeed was hard on her, seeing people of her age roaming aimlessly on the street, driving posh cars, buying expensive clothes and devices and all she had was a bicycle and a second hand laptop which her cousin Jayden gave to her before he left for Africa. But she had that hope that things will change eventually.
