I am a charming african woman, focussed with zeal to reach ma goals
i dont care how u see me for as long as i know the real me

...just shoot for the moon u never know u could reach some of the stars so near to the moon
abt me?
u reallly myt not want to knw - but then y not?
i grew up in a purely extended family where some how i felt kind of invisible
i felt only visible in the mornings wen it was tym for chores and at the end of the school term wen every body expected u to have excellent results

being ma mother's first born, ma sisters kind of resented me for they thowt i was superior in a way
as it was i played less and read alot

i could read watever crossed ma eyes regardless of whether it was forbidden or not
thats wen i got introduced to the mills and boon copies i stole from ma big sister's room
...of course i knew the repurcussions if she ever found me
so this kind of made ma fascination for books grow(believe me every one likes doin forbidden acts) cos some how i found ma self saying bye bye to the cook books and comics i was 'supposed' to read as my mother used to say(u see, she was ateacher and every thing around her ran like a school program-organised is the word- if u ever fell out of schedule and u wdnt miss getting spunked)

some how i got interested in the 'bigger' stuff and thats wen i came across ''cry out'' which highlighted the way some orphan-Peter had to go through several foster homes without actually being accepted and the finally being separated from his brothers .... gosh!!! i had never been tuched by any book before then
and now i can proudly say av read more than enough for ma own liking
but then its never enough...
the un fortunate bit is that i wasnt so fascinated by authors and book tittles but the content
i could read any thing provided it had an end....
but now that am on shelfari i can see where i went wrong i can never read any thing now without associating it with the author....
i think al read for as long as av got my sight
i think al leave it at this u dont have to knw all of me now do u?
just enough is good for the soul. have fun ...av got to read smth « less
