The (brightness) was a girl, who stay in a slum(darkness)  The darkness arise when her father was broke and he was thrown out to the slum,  her father really want to give her daughters a good life. She was from a family of six,  mother, father,three sisters and a brother. They all try to help each other and never blame anyone for their situations, she was a very strong girl, she never wanted to see her parents think or cry over their situations. she try her best to make her career has a footballer, where all turns out to be a hard time after she was (raped) she was scared to tell her parents, she console herself and move on but her career was not where she expected it to be. She faced a new career as a football referee where her father believe in her dream, she met a boy who she thought would help her career and explain all issues she can never tell her parents, yes the boy was good, caring, and lovely, until she realizes he ways a gambler, he gamble with her school fees which affect her career again because the boy was giving her all she needed in place of her parents. She have to keep this pains to herself. she never have access/freedom to her own life in the name of relationship, the boy advice her to drop out of school and promise to fund her if she starts all over again, but it was a lie, he used her name for debt and she was accused of owing people debt, she suffer alone until her mother was a victim when she put her sim into her mother's phone, where a creditor call to embarrass her (there is pain behind every successful story) her mother pay the debt and advice her to make her best decision. The quit the relationship went back to the slum and make a difference, she believes in the power of a girl, work for herself in her  little ways cater for her family and was happy with the little she had everyone in her hood believe in her story and still support her dream as a cinematographer gradually she is planning on raising funds to go back to school. 

the poor girl is me.

I am the dream chaser. 

I am the girl born without a silver spoon. 

I want to make my dream real. 

I want to my pain to know I am happy because, I am a woman.

power of a girl.

I was born in the slum,  I was trained in the ghetto, I was born poor, poverty will only push you down when you never believe in yourself, I stay in the slum,i never behave like one I cry during my rape, I console myself and now I have to face the conflict. And for every conflict there must be a resolution.

this is my resolution, I will voice out, tell the world my story let the girls learn from me, I was thinking  the boy will give me all because I was a raped victim, but no he ruin my education until I believe and face the pain of working with my breath
