The warped story of my life

Prologue

" You never get things easily, no one really does. And the person who claims that he does is lying.
Trust me on that.We often give up things halfway.
Why take them up if you want to give them up midway?

In the introduction, your administrator talked about me making it to the Forbes list of Most Successful Women, but​ what you don't know is that it hasn't been an easy road.

I bet 90% of you will be sitting in the audience are wondering, 'why the hell do we have to listen to this old lady blabbering?'

Honestly, I know speeches suck!
But well I have been told to give one and here we are.
In a nutshell, life is going to go through curvatures and it's not going​ to be easy but believe that you will figure your way out of the shitty mess.

There is so much potential in the world. Go out, fucking make the best out of it. Thank you, folks. Have a wonderful evening and let the celebrations begin!"

"Thank you Ms. Hassington. You have been very resourceful and our students are really grateful to you for your words of wisdom. We appreciate you sparing your time for us".

Kate jostled around​ the crowd navigating her way through the enormous sea of students and found her parents talking to the valedictorian of the year, her best friend Hope.
She and Hope had been together since kindergarten and Hope had been with her through it all.
She  was naturally very thrilled and now that they have graduated, they both were going to move to London where they were going to be working for Hassington Enterprises.

She had always been in awe of Eleanor Hassington and listening to her had just strengthened​ her thoughts of why she admired this exceptionally brilliant woman so much.

Kate was positive that she was opening a door to wonderful possibilities or was this the beginning of the end?
