Sometimes we see ourselves in the middle of tough situations that might lead us to make mistakes we can regret for the rest of our life. A young lady came to me recently with eyes full of tears and I asked for the reason behind her tears, it was indeed a sad one. She came from a very poor family and she is so myopic about a lot of things in life.


  This young lady lives in an environment filled with people of different behavior; the bad, the ugly, the beast and a few percentage of good persons, among her peers she was seen as inferior because she doesn’t dress nice, though her parents are very poor and yet, she decided not to live a bad life, she tries everything she could not to keep an affair with the opposite sex and this attitude of hers gave her d name "the poor saint".
  It was time for this young girl to write her exams because she has this dream of becoming a mechanical Engineer but unfortunately her mum could not provide the money for the enrollment, she was so heartbroken. Her neighbour asked for the reason for her constant sad state of mind of which she told her neighbour everything, the neighbour who is a guy promised to help her but on the condition that he has to sleep with her...

Questions of the day
1. What would you advise the young lady to do in this sort of situation ?

2. Can you allow your present situation to lead you to make decisions that you would regret the rest of your life ?

3. What can you suggest for the lady to overcome her challenges ?
