Sofia's Poor Family

Sofia was a girl who was only 10 years old. She was from a very poor family but so poor that she could not even go to school, she liked studying a lot but she can not because she is very poor.

Her father died when she was only 2 years old and the cause of her father’s death was that he had cancer and could not do any kind of treatment because he did not have money. Where they lived was a very small town so they could not leave that town because it had a very serious rule: if you go out of that town, they kill you or they will send you to a place where you won’t be able to leave .

Well, she lived all her life with her mother, and her mother is also sick. That is why she does not work. There are days when they do not eat but there are days when Sofia goes to look for food and if she brings it, they eat .

After a few years, her mother also died. When she was already 18,  one day she thinks why she cannot go out of the town because that rule is incorrect.

She decided to go to the house of the president of that town to talk and ask why they cannot go outside the town. When she asked him, he said it is a rule for many years and that no one can leave. After some minutes, the president says if she prepares all the people, and they could leave, he would accept it. The president knew that she would not get it because nobody want to help her because they are afraid of the president. She goes to talk to the people of the village and then, she begins to talk with the people. She talks a lot and finally they are prepared to go and find their freedom.

And then they go outside of that town……

Remember nothing changes, if you are poor nothing happens if you do not have money. Freedom is your right, and you will do it not be afraid of anything you are the future, you are the right.
