“Precious” by Lauren Conrad
“Precious has both parents, but they are very poor. The father has more than 6 women and about 30 children. All the children have had little access to education. Precious has about 12 siblings from the same mother and she is the second born in the family. Most of her siblings have dropped out of school. She hopes to complete her education and get a good future to be able to help her siblings. She is interested in music, reading novels and writing letters to friends. She wants to become a doctor or nurse.”
