Ever since I was a little girl I have always advocated for the underdog. I have always defended those being bullied. I have always stood up for those being mistreated. I have always leant an ear to those who have needed to talk. I have always been friendly to the friendless. I have always been attentive to children and compassionate to the elderly. My empathy for others comes from being mistreated as a child by my older siblings who were jealous of me because I was the baby and my parents' favorite child. I was treated with a lot of hatred by my siblings just because I was alive. One sibling in particular, Liz Sebiane, was so mean to me that she was actually dangerous and my father was afraid to leave me alone with her when we were children. And all throughout my life that sibling was fixated on me and incessantly harassed me and tried to damage my life to the point that it became a serious legal matter. Remember the jealous sister in the movie The Bodyguard starring Whitney Houston who wanted Whitney's character (i.e., Rachel Marron) dead? It has been just like that.
In the face of hatred throughout my childhood, however, the opposite happened to me. I learned to be kind, loving, respectful, sensitive to people's feelings and empathetic towards others.
Enjoy this sweet video about a literal underdog whose circumstances changed for the better despite his imperfection.
