Beyond Terrific

FOUR ENTHUSIAST GIRLS👧🌸 MEMBERS: Broken heart, hungry stomach and empty pockets always taught me to be grateful of what I possess and remind me to cherish every single moments of my short life. Hard work does not always pay off and it takes a strong heart to survive through challenges, even if it is just a small hurdle, it will definitely affect us in unexpected ways.
