My Journey

Sitting inside the moving bus filled with different girls of my ages or above ,traveling a long distance to Lagos all the way from delta to find a better job like my friend (Angela)told me .........here is my story

I’m grace a 22years old drop out student,coming from a poor background was a difficult challenges to me ,I was the breadwinner of my family,losing my dad was the worsted of all because no money to take him to a better hospital for treatment,I had to hawk oranges at the streets of warri to shelter for my mother and younger ones

It all began when a classmate of mine came back for holiday ,all well dress with expensive clothes and using the lastest iPhone,that really caught my attention to be exactly like her

‘’Who am I seeing!!! Angela ‘I rushed to hug her’’

‘‘ grace,gracie what up girl’’she said scanning me from up to down,what up why are you looking so unkept

“My sister it life ,will have been through a lot the passing away of my father also my it more difficult ‘“I said looking down

Angela sighed.”it ok babe cheer up it just a matter of time all that will soon be over

‘’I pray oh!! Cause like this your girl have not eaten anything since morning,babe seriously you are looking good ‘’ I said admiring her dress

‘’Anyway take this money go and get something to eat ‘’she said bringing out five hundred bundles from her bag

‘’Eh!Eh!am I dreaming (i said cleaning my face) omo see money ooo Angela how did u see this kind of huge money

“Babe come on this small change it a token “she said smiling

“Token hmmm babe this is big money babe connect me to better work na see am tired of hawking orange “I lament bitterly
