Once upon a time ,there is a lovely lady named Shyra Mendoza, who's drop out from the school due to the financial problem , she belongs in a broken family her mother left them because of her father cannot get a work due of his illness. She facing the reality of being a poor girl. ,she can't even buy a clothes for her, and eat a delicious food they can afford a vegetables only which is they have in there backyard!
(Mrs. Mendoza)
I'm going leave this family, I can't do this anymore! i want to start a new life in downtown and find a good husband who can give anything to me not just like you who only gives a lot of stress in me! and I left you our only child Shyra!
(Mr. Mendoza)
No! Honey me and Shyra needs you! she needs a mother she still so young, and I need you to take care of me while I'm in I'll, don't worry honey sooner or later I'm going to be okay and i can go back to work again !
(Mrs. Mendoza)
I can't do this anymore I'm going to leave now bye![ she's walking out the house without looking at Shyra who's only 9 year old that time.]
They don't have no choice either die in no foods to eat or trying to planting a vegetables in their backyard. So when Shyra is small her father teach her household chores, planting a vegetables and even taking care of animals which they can sold to the market. Her father's illness was over fatigue and have a stomach ulcer, and because of luck of money they can't even go to hospital and do a check up. The money they have is for Shyra's school tuition fee.
Later on when Shyra Mendoza is 18 she stop and drop out into school, because her father illness becomes worsens, she tried to help him through selling the crops they have.
(Shyra Mendoza)
Father, I need you to be strong for me! you are the only family I have and I'm scared if you gone.[ tears fell from her eyes]
(Mr. Mendoza)
Don't worry my princess I'm still fighting my illness just for you! I'm so sorry for you because of this , if I'm not sick you didn't drop out from school and your mother would not leave us!
( Shyra Mendoza)
Don't mention her father because for me she is died for a long time ago, if she love and care about us she would never leave us and forget us! she is a selfish person.
(Mr. Mendoza)
my little one don't forget she is still your mother, she bare you in this world , without her you are not in my side now!
( Shyra Mendoza)
But I'm still don't like what she done to us, she left us without a good reason! and besides she don't love you, she loves your money only! and I hate her so much !
Mr. Mendoza)
I understand you my little one, but never forget that she's your mother, what I'm trying to explaining to you is that we need to accept the fact that she left us [her father tearing his eyes while explaining] because I can't give to her what i promise while we living in one roof.
(Shyra Mendoza)
Okay , in order to finish this discussion I go now to sell this vegetables and fruits. don't worry father we still survive in this kind of challenge in life.
( Mr. Mendoza)
Okay my child, I pray for your guidance. I'm so sorry if I am not in your side while you try to find a way how we survive and my illness. and again your dropping out in school because of me.
(Shyra Mendoza)

While Shyra is going down into public market, his father was suffering in heart attack, no one heard him because the houses their was too far from each other , it seams to be 1 meter distances. Shyra was so brave enough to face the reality of their lives. While she's in a market and sells her vegetables and fruits she meet a new friend who is sell a goods too.
(Amy Gesto)

While her new friend Amy go back into her house. And asked her mother to lallowed her to go in downtown in order to find a job , butshe didn't tell to them she's helping a friend.
while Shyra walking down into her house she felt something wrong her heartbeat was so fast and she don't know what to do, she need to walk fast as she could to reach the house,
later on she tried to call his father, she put down the goods she buy into the table and to to her father, she whispered to him that she's already in home ,but somewhat chances her father was didn't response, so she tried to move him From left to right but no reaction until she go outside and call her neighbor and asked for his father condition,
