In my past, I was trapped in the difficult life of homelessness and street survival, forced to scavenge as a rag picker. The cold, unrelenting streets became my only shelter, and I roamed the busy city with tired eyes and a heavy heart. Each day was a grueling battle, sifting through discarded piles for valuable scraps, hoping they'd be enough to ease my hunger. My days blended together in a blur of emptiness and exhaustion, as the city carried on, unaware of my existence. Dreams of a stable home and a loving family felt like distant dreams, slipping away like the bits of cloth I collected. However, amidst the adversity, a spark of resilience emerged. In the midst of the chaos, I clung to a glimmer of hope, believing that someday, I'd be lifted from the dirt and garbage, and opportunities would break the cycle of poverty, giving me a chance at
a better life. I'm deeply thankful to the children's home that provided that chance for me.
