Years passed, and Rejoice transformed her pain into an unwavering determination to succeed. Her grandmother, a kind and wise woman, nurtured her spirit and encouraged her thirst for knowledge. Though the world outside saw her scars, her grandmother saw beyond them, recognizing the strength and resilience that lay within.
With her grandmother’s support, Rejoice returned to school, driven by a fervent desire to prove her worth. She poured her energy into her studies, excelling in every subject despite the whispers and stares from classmates. Her teacher, Mrs. Grace, noticed the change in her once timid student and became a mentor. She often stayed after school to help Rejoice with her assignments, pushing her to reach her full potential.
“Rejoice, you have a gift,” Mrs. Grace would say, echoing the words she had spoken years ago. “Don’t let anyone or anything hold you back.”
