Hi I'm Ada from Nigeria. Ever since I was a little girl I loved working on cars with grandpa. 

"Want to give this one a try?"

"Sure!"

"Grandpa! This is so cool! I want to build cars one day and"

"Build cars! eww, that's not a girl's job."

That was my Aunt Chi, I was raised by her alongside her own daughter June after I lost my parents. 

"If that is what she wants to be, then you have no right to stop her. The sky is her starting point." 

I felt grateful for Grandpa, he always believed in me, unlike aunt who always tried to make my life miserable. Like this one time my aunt's daughter June and I were playing outside, we had so much fun playing mud, but when aunt came out she went ballistic when she saw how messed up our clothes were. 

"I bet this was all Ada's idea, June if you continue follow this rotten girl around your future will be nothing but a dark shadow."

"But mom it was my idea to make sand cakes, please don't blame Ada."

"Oh please June, stop making excuses for her. She has always been nothing but trouble."

"Why do you not like me Aunt? I did nothing wrong, I'm just a child like June?"
