"Human heart tells you different things. It will tell you to do something while at other times telling you not to. Strange thing this human heart. This heart betrayed me when I was the age of a young girl. Friends came to pick me up to go to school, but my heart did not long for the classrooms. It wanted to spend time at home, with father and mother and with the poor animals. It was not father who did not allow me to go to school, nor was it mother who spoke badly of my teachers. It was me. I am old now and a thing of sadness, I have a change of heart. Every time I have to thumbprint a document, my heart tells me I should have gone to school. This strange thing called a heart.” #elevateddreams in collaboration with Trek To Teach.
