Sagonia's Story of Triumph

Utilizing the skills we all have is useful in moments of adversity. They become our saviour

Probably most of you have heard Sagonia`s story; but if you haven`t, here is a summary of it for you. Sagonia`s story begins right after she lost her husband. She had never experienced anything like this before. All she had done throughout her life was only what was comfortable for her. She had been overwhelmed by the incidences that had happened the previous year. Her husband had suddenly passed away and left her with two children – boy and girl, in their tender ages. The family was an average one, struggling by the day and it was the husband who provided everything for the family. Sagonia mainly stayed at home to take care of the little ones. She had not gone very far in school and after senior high school had taken a short course in tailoring. Her small tailoring job had been cut short when she got pregnant with her first baby.

`We could be immortals`

If you really knew what you are capable of doing, what would you choose to do?

I will be honest with you. There is no day that has passed by, that I don’t think about what tomorrow holds for me. Whether I shall be around to see tomorrow or not! And despite all this feeling, I wake up every day and continue doing the same things I did yesterday. I continue to think that I shall live to see another day. In me, there is this hope, a hope that says that tomorrow will surely come. I actually don’t mind whether tomorrow comes or not, what bothers me most is what I have to show tomorrow. Today is passing, yesterday is gone and yet am worried about
