Every child on Earth deserves the chance to paint a perfect picture of their lives - Shobana Gomes

What would you say in a letter to yourself?

Do you believe that life is what you make of it?

Life is much like a jigsaw puzzle, with tiny fragments and pieces divided into segments that you must discover, discern, unearth and fit in the right perspective to survive. It is like a maze one strives to uncover so that you arrive at your destination safely.

To do that, there are things to consider, like fate which lies in the hands of those who birthed us, and our destiny which relies on our battles to make life meaningful, beautiful, and fruitful.

Read on for Sandra's opinion on how she would draw the perfect picture of the life she wants to live. She quotes Picasso in her story. Everything you imagine is real! A lesson to the adults who care to see things through the eyes of a child.

Unable to complete the picture, she says, “I will leave it till the riverbeds heal, till its waters flow freely once again.”
