Precious

 

Precious. That's what she goes by, what she'd rather go by. Not her first name, not fatty, not stupid.

Precious.

And isn't life precious. 

Precious Jones has been through an abusive life, first caused by her abusive father, then her abusive mother, taunts by people in and out of school and mentally as she begins to not believe in herself.

Then her principal puts her into the alternative school and life does become precious.

Precious has the opportunity to learn.

Opportunities to write.

Opportunities to be herself.

Which is what she needs.

After her second child is brought into this world, she makes the choice to leave behind what she knew before, all that was familiar and start a new life.

School continues, her babies are growing and she earns an award.

She finds friends but most important, she finds hope.

Hope that wasn't there before.

Sapphire brought to life an abused girl who went through a window to find herself.

If she can do it, ladies and gentlemen, I believe you can get through your every day trials.

Push yourself to your limits.

Or someone else may do it for you.
