Her mother took her to a park where orphan children of her age were playing and had a very bad condition and she was told that she still had a better condition and should be thankful of it. She took an oath to become successful in life and she started working very hard. Shakira was rejected from high school music group and she was told that she sounded like a goat; in contrast, she kept envisioning her destiny and worked harder and harder.

In life to earn your place; you have to fight for it. “Shakira”
