I still have the opportunity to rectify my previous mistakes. I can still go anywhere around the world. I still have the opportunity to reach my goals. There is still a chance for me to show my relatives that I have the potential to become something in life. Yes, I have the power to change my background.
I still have the opportunity to leave what is behind, and to only focus on what is ahead. I can still take steps forward with my life, because this life is a blessing to me. It is a game I need to play, a challenge I need to face, and the opportunity I need to grab.
