FIRST TIME INTO BUSINESS

Hi! I am a simple guy. I look like one and yes, I work like one too, but I think of myself far greater
because I am the founder of the new venture, Jolly Traders and Retailers. The name might seem odd,
but it gets the job done. I have a wonderful wife who supports me through all this. I just feel so
energetic after meeting those eminent personalities. I can’t believe that they have accepted the offer. It
was fruitful but I still feel that I could have bought them to a better negotiation. It is hard, hard to run a
business. It’s a work that gives a lot of stress, but I know I can do it and make my family proud. Last night
was quite offensive when Lucy, my sister-in-law spoke ill about me mentioning that I would never
succeed. Well! My wife was supportive in this case thankfully as she dared to stand against her own
sister, and she realized her mistake. My business is coming of awesome. I love it even though it is a lot of
work but if I have my wife to support me nothing is impossible, I always think to myself that I will make
my future children proud and no matter what, I will not give up. 
 
STAYING STRONG ALWAYS
Hi! I am Beth and this is my story 
People call me innocent young and kind I love to help people in need. I study very hard and always rank
top. Once my teacher asked, “What is the reason that you study so hard” I told her it was because I
know what all my family has gone through so that I stay in this school. I am about to go to Class Ninth.
It’s kind of scary as it is way harder than any other class in school but exciting to go through new
journeys of life. My younger brother is still grieving our mother and father death. even I cry when I think
about them, and I miss them, but I must stand up and protect my brother and help him to get over this. I
have made my decision that I will be an accountant in the future and help stand up against society. 

STRUGGLES GO ON
Hello, I am an average 10 class student over these past couple of years I must make a lot of decisions.
th

My family always tells me “Son, you will be an engineer and make us proud” I always say “Dad I want to
help others so, I will become a doctor” to which they fully disagree. They keep pushing me and once my
grandfather told them to stop, they stopped and he assured me saying “Son, it’s your decision that you
want to be a doctor or an engineer” I told him “I want to be a doctor”. He said it was final and now no
one will tell me to become an engineer. Since that day, I had been continuously studying and passed
board exams with great marks and I am still thankful to my grandfather for supporting me to achieve my
goal. Since that day there was no looking back.

TROUBLE BEGINS HERE

We had completed all the rituals and rites for the grandfather. He died a few weeks ago and our whole
family was going through grief and sorrow still, it is hard for the family to go through this especially the
son and daughter of the father as they were close to their grandfather. After all the rituals the father
was handling the will which was given to him. It was his first time, so it was difficult. But now he knows
what he is doing. He thought to himself, “I wish father was here to help me...it would have been so
much easier”. The grandmother was still at a loss for words and was in grief. The mother cooked rice
and then gave it to the grandmother while comforting her through her grief and sorrow. The mother
said, “It is all going to be okay, and he was watching us from above”. The son is still going through grief,
and he gets distracted from his studies and games. When he thinks about his grandfather, he starts
crying. His family is also worried because his exams are around the corner. The son thought, “He helped
me, he educated me, he loved me. Now that grandfather is gone, I feel like I am lost.” The daughter was
going through a lot of grief as she loved her grandfather more than anything. She cried in her room all
day, she didn't eat and she didn't talk to anyone. She had self-anxiety and stayed depressed all the time.
Still, she knew that she had to come up with this and focus on her work now.

HELPING MY FATHER IN LAW

My sister-in-law has anger issues. She has tried therapy but it did not work. She told her therapist, “I
don’t want to work”, and, “Can’t you get a better job?” Her therapist tried her best but it didn’t work.
Both my wife and mother-in-law died recently. My father-in-law and I were heartbroken. It is hard for
both of us. Both my wife and mother-in-law had life insurance. They made me the nominee and I got all
the insurance money. Even my father-in-law has given me all of his belongings in his will. That's why my
sister-in-law became aggressive. We had a lot of fights on daily basis but nonetheless, I focused on my
work and ignored her. I had to take care of my father-in-law on my own. I also had to work, clean the
house, get medicines, etc. My sister-in-law did nothing but sleep, talk to her friends and eat. This went
on for months until I told my father-in-law that I would kick my sister-in-law out. He said that he could
understand. Soon, I told her she is getting kicked out. Hearing this, she went mad at me and had several
quarrels with me but, I closed the door on her. Since then my father-in-law has gotten better and life is
great.
