After a visitation to patience school the following day to make enquires about the kind of friends she keeps and her attitude in school, her name was changed from patience to Sarah. Sarah grew as a normal child will do but the only problem she had was that she was slow at speech and as a result of this, she stays away from her friends to avoid being ridiculed. As the years rolled, little Sarah had a lot of dreams but her father was not always in agreement to her wishes. He always wanted to bend her to his side not only as a child but also when she's an adult. Sarah is now grown but her father won't let her be, she discovers that she is responsible for whatever happens in her life and that even if the decision was taken by someone else, she is the one to bear the consequences of the outcome of the decision. And as a result of her discovery, she starts taking decisions for herself. She no longer wants to consider who, what. remains in her life, what matters to her is that " she has a say in what ever happens in her life". These words were her words.
