1st Reflection

Imagine being born to a mother who used to be a maid. Then imagine that the man she was a maid for was your father. This leads onto only seeing your father that you love so much only once a week, because he was not supposed to be your father. This was Mariams life. Her and her mother lived in a house outside of the city. They get hardly any money from Mariams father. And Mariams mother is one of those people that say, "Don't mind me, i'll just read in the dark." Meaning that when a good opportunity comes along, she never takes it. Mariam, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. If i could describe her with three adjectives, it would be hopeful, smart, and loving. The reason i say hopeful is because Mariam is hopeful that one day her father will take her into the city and take her to a movie with the rest of Mariams half brothers and sisters. I would say smart because Mariam desperately wants to go to school, even though her mother would never let her, and i would say loving because, even though her dad only comes to visit once a week, she still loves him the most out of anyone in the whole world.
