This is the story of the woman who gave birth at the age of 15 years, seeing so many ups and down in her life, she still managed to ace her dream of becoming an independent woman.

Born in a small village as an elder sister to 3 younger siblings, she always played the role of second mother to her siblings and a shoulder to lean on to her hardworking mother.

As a child, she was an extrovert with a big heart helping her mother to run the restaurant while learning and growing.

I remember, she owns made some sweet snacks at home and sell them at double the price in her school to her classmate.

She was always a business mind person but destiny have other plans for her.

She fell in love with one of the seniors in the school and get married at the age of 14.

At that time, she did not have her first menstruation phase. Unaware of the life consequences, she gave birth to her first daughter at the age of 15.

Since then she never looks back to her dreams and buried the smart version of her who love business within her.

The only priority was her children, she later on gave birth to 3 daughters again as the pressure of having a son was very high at that time.

Now, she has 4 daughters to look after and a husband to whom she has been dependent her whole life for money.

I think this is the household story of most of our generation's mothers but what really makes it stand out is the gut to be something, to do something, and most importantly to provide for her children.

She as a mother gave her everything to her family and children, she was a devotee towards her husband but her husband's constant unfaithfulness towards her was really hard to digest.

Finally, the day came she left her husband and her 4 daughters as she has not any alternative choice.

She either has to live the life of hell or become a good example to her daughters which will help her daughters to know their values and their ability to do so much in life.

With zero money to her name, she left her homeland and went abroad for an opportunity as she was not educated enough nor do she have any money to start any business even if she was skilled.

However, life was not favorable for her. The constant memories of her daughters were continuously pulling her away from work and she was also not liking the job she was doing at that time but she has a loan to pay.

After working for several years, she returns back and did some training regarding a beautician course.

She became a certified beautician and established her own beauty salon.

At first, it was hard for her to run the salon on her own, and being restricted to talking to her own children was something that really holds her back.

However, she was so determined to work and prove to everyone who doubted her, she swallowed the pain and worked tried less.

Today, she is a successful beautician with her own beauty salon earning double the income as her husband and having full custody over her children.

Despite being an uneducated, unskilled, and full-time housewife who has no hopes in life and can achieve so many things in life then why can not you and I learn something from her story?

To everyone who is struggling in their life with jobs, careers, education, or anything in their life, STOP giving Excuses and start working on your problem because the easiest thing one can do is complaint and not take full responsibility for whatever decision they made.
