Everyone has a story to tell, of how their life experiences have shaped them into who they have become. Narrated here are stories colouring various shades of life's journeys: inspirational stories of a winning mentality with accounts of endurance, perseverance and courage; stories of how the cycle of poverty was broken through education; stories of one unfortunate being and a few who fell through the cracks; and finally words of hope to carry on. These stories are about paths taken by people who go the extra mile to achieve their dreams.
