People pull you down several times but it is up to you to stand right back up or else you will remain on the ground .What life has taught me is that if you try to copy someone’s attitude and so fourth you will have problems but if you are your true self the right people will come to you and even help you were help is required .Little did I know that I was gifted with so many gifts but because of my gender I was taken advantage of ,I felt so discouraged so alone so useless I felt like ashes that are swept by the wind,I weeped a lot and I began to wonder whether or not I was a person yet I am I began to wonder if I had a future or if I was going to pursue using my gifts .I silently walked out of the tent and found a rock to sit on that is when a friend if mine approached me and sat besides me he consoled me and wept my tears .He took me back in the tent and told me to sit on a chair besides him ,So when the gentlemen began asking for the keyboard player to play for them ,who is my friend he never spoke a word but instead pushed me to go for it besides those men’s provockings.For a minute there I was trembling and scared but he stood by my side and because of that I played the keyboard for those men .They started enjoying it when I played for them but they were the very same people provoking me because of my gender ,Now they want me to play for them yet they provoke me.
That has made me to think,”does my gender actually limit me to do things that I am capable of?Does gender mean men have the upper hand in doing things ? I truly wonder .
