SOPHIA'S FLUTE

I AM SOPHIA. This is my story
When my mother was in labour, she had no way of knowing she was giving birth to a FLUTIST. She didn't see me become anything . She died a few hours later.
I was named Sophia by the head nurse. You may ask the question “where was your father??”. I'll save you the questions , He was never in the picture.
I found my flute by the roadside (unbelievable right ?) I was about ten years, I was just walking to the orphanage and I was talking to GOD about the sweet and biscuits I saw in MAMA ABIGAIL'S shop I wanted to really eat those and so I needed money. The children of the street said they had found a #50 note lying on the roadside lastweek. I was looking intently for mine, that was when I found my flute ( I was very disappointed then).
Fast forward to twenty years later as a renowned flutist , people always ask me “Sophia,how did you learn how to play it so well ??”, I didn't learn how to I just played my flute.
I played it at the orphanage, for the street children , by the roadside till I became an internet sensation and was signed to a record label....I PLAYED MY FLUTE
