SOPHIA'S FLUTE.

Been a young and talented girl she never allowed any word of mockery get into her mind, she sets her expectation high and kept her esteem high, the war has taking her parents and she is left alone to take care of her only sister, with no one to call family she work hard to feed herself and her younger sister.

Sophia only hope of survival was the flute given to her on her eleventh birthday, Sophia could play so well that she got herself a job at a restaurant to entertain everyone every evening, with the little token given to her Sophia spent known on herself but instead on her younger sister

One day she came in contact with a music school and she tried to enroll but she could not afford the tuition fee, and there is big music competition coming and she needs to get trained, how could this be possible Sophia thought to herself.

Every morning Sophia would leave for the music school and take her seat on the street opposite the music school with her flute watching those that her practicing and then doing exactly what they are doing, and in the evening she leaves for work, this continues for months.

The day of the competition came and Sophia bought the form from the money she has been saving, her younger sister sat on the front roll in auditorium and watch her sister play her flute, Sophia emerged the runner up of the competition, and that changed her life and her sister life forever.

Thank you for taking your time to read this short story, this is my first time a contest i hope for the best.
