his efforts and knocks go unanswered. When they appeal to their government for
help and intervention; it is then that they will discover a conspiracy, which

measure to deny access.

EXCERPT
A tear rolled down Nicole’s cheek, as she looked
around the empty room. She could still feel his presence, even those she could
not see his face. Everything she had struggled to gain, was now gone, it had
all vanished in a blink of an eye. With every tear that rolled down her cheek,
she cried for the loss of their unborn child, for the hand she used to hold,
for the love that still lived in her heart, but was now gone from her life. It
had all disappeared into thin air. And she was left trying to understand why.
Why didn’t they give him a chance, why hasn’t any of the doors they had knocked
been answered? Why was the world so cold? Why did people judge others so
unfairly? What gave them the right to deny, someone access to their careers,
just because they didn’t study here. If they have the skills and knowledge, and
it’s proven they did, then why wouldn’t they play fair? Didn’t they realize how
many people lives, are left broken by these protective barriers they put in
place. That they are denying, fair and equal opportunity for someone that
deserve it, and also to those that are in need of the skills.
