Answer and Explanation:
This question refers to "The Rose that Grew from Concrete."
Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?
Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
It learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from the concrete
When no one else even cared!
I will provide a personal answer, but feel free to adapt it to your own reality.
Everyone has adversities to overcome. So, in a sense, we are all the rose that grows from concrete. I am no exception. Even though I see myself as blessed, I too have issues and hardships holding me back, trying to prevent my growth. Being a woman is, unfortunately, still one of them. I hope and fight for the day when my gender will not mean I am less worthy of a job or a salary. Lack of money in a world that is fueled by it is tough as well. Still, I go after what I want. I make the money, no matter how little; I save it and, when I finally use it, it is to improve myself, my life, my abilities.
NOTE: In case you are a male or have had other issues in life, here are some ideas:
- having grown up in a violent neighborhood;
- your ethnicity;
- being an immigrant;
- having lost a loved one.
