CHAPTER 3 "THROUGH INNOCENT EYES: AGLIMPSE INTO RESILIENCE" At home, I'm fortunate if there's even a bit of rice left, but more often than not, they're waiting for me to cook for them, and if there isn't any, they beat me. Too lazy to even get the wood and light the small fire. The only thing that keeps me going is the thought of the stranger, my future. I take odd jobs to save money, hoping to visit Auntie and catch a glimpse of the man I want in my life, even though he's never seen me.
