She was a daughter of a poor native family living in the mountain. Many of her classmates don't like her. They were laughing and made fun of her. She became the center of attention in her class teasing and ridiculing her in the presence of their teacher. She cried telling her parents what happened in school. Her parents told her to just leave them because there are some people who don't have manners and easily belittle others without thinking that the victim is also human that have an emotion and can feel the pain.
Sometimes she asked herself why fate keep on teasing her. She did not understand why some people are acting differently. She tried to be friendly with the hope of changing their perception. She hold her emotion not to cry and devoted herself in his studies so that her mind is occupied without remembering those hurtful words that kept on bothering her. She forced herself to disregard this negative remarks she heard, holding her temper to burst.
