Jane grew up in a poor family with a single mom. She had two more little sisters. Her dad abandoned her and her sisters years ago. And their mother was also irritated with them. She had no job or money and didn't know what to do with so many kids.
Jane was in the 5th grade then and thus her school performance deteriorated. She couldn't study at home because she had to take care of her sisters. Teachers had no compassion for her and made her an outcast with their constant nagging. Even the students at her school didn't like her and bullied her as much as they could.
One day she was standing on the school corridor. Like other time she was alone from the girls' gathering. One of her teacher came to her and asked what she was wearing. She even didn't get time to reply. She told Jane that with such a provocative dress, she was favored to become a teen mom. She felt very sad as a person like her mom insulted her.
After the teacher's harsh comments, she decided to dress more modestly. One day she did so and was walking to the class. But her classmates saw her and didn't like that appearance. They threw paper ball, bags, eraser and etc towards her and he was trying to hide herself. One of them exclaimed that one look at Jane made her sick. Another one said that she was as ugly as her clothes and many more.
This made Jane to avoid classes. She started skipping school and began to interact with strange men. A new young teacher, Mary saw this and got worried. As soon as she noticed that she asked the previous mentioned teacher about her. She got irritated and said that that was their dumbest student who led an immortal lifestyle.
Mary didn't listened to this nagging. She replied that the girl was probably in trouble. The another teacher suggested her not to waste her time on Jane and added that the girl was lost to society.
But Mary didn't think so and decided to follow her. She thought that if she noticed anything strange, she would call the police or social services.
Jane went to a hotel with the strangers. Mary felt disturbed when she saw how Jane and two strangers entered a luxury hotel. She thought the men lured her there. She waited for a while for Jane's return. But when she didn't, she was about to call the police. But suddenly, Jane and the men came back out in work clothes. She saw that the girl started cleaning the floor and the two men started doing renovations at the hotel.
Mary figured out that Jane had joined at work with that people. And after a few hours later, she went to the car wash. Mary still followed her and reached there. She worked there for the rest of the day. And finally the tired girl counted her money earned by her day's hard work.
After she got her money, she entered the supermarket. Mary thought she needed money for a party. But Jane came out with a large bag of groceries only. Mary felt curious and followed her when she went to a poor old house.
Jane was on the house yard and two little girls rushed towards her. She said sorry to them as she came home so late that day. She also told them that she had bought them treats. It turned out that the little girls were Jane's sisters.
Mary was shocked and could no longer stand aside. She came to Jane and said that she needed to talk to her mom. Jane was frightened and confused. She told her teacher, Mary that her mother was not at home as she was at work. Mary was not satisfied with the answer and she told Jane that she had saw how hard she worked and so she could tell her the truth.
This time Jane said that her mother really was not home because she had left them.
One day their mother met a rich man who fell in love with her and was ready to marry her. But when she told him about her three daughters the man didn't refused her directly. He presented her with a choice instead. He said to her that he could give her the life of her dreams if she left those past mistakes behind. And her mother accepted that proposal in a happy heart.
Mary asked Jane why she hadn't told anyone about that. She replied that she believed that one day her mom would miss them and would return forever.
Mary was impressed by Jane's story and decided to find out her mom. Soon she found her and it turned out that she gave birth to another child with that rich man and was not going to return to her children.
When Jane found out about that, she could not hold back her tears. But Mary supported and reassured her. She told her that people had judged her not knowing that she was just in trouble. But Jane was stronger and smarter than all of them.
Then Mary made paper with the court and made sure that Jane's mother was deprived of parental rights. She spent a lot of time with Jane and her sisters. And soon she decided to adopt them.
But upon learning of this, a teacher at the school began to discourage her. She told Mary that those kids had bad genes and she couldn't teach them anything. Mary got angry with her and refused to accept that.
She wrote a complaint to the school director saying if he hadn't taken any steps, she would have given an interview to the press. The school was afraid of scandal and soon the mean teacher was fired.
Jane turned a new life and started her life over. She again started to go to school and improved her grades. She never missed class again.
So, don't judge someone's story by the chapter you walked in.
