Only Allah would take care of me after I attempted my utmost to take a good care of myself. Insy...

One of my colleagues, when she was in scurry to go back to her classroom, she stopped her footsteps and looked at me for awhile. She came closer to me to say I looked great. She loved the details attached onto mine. Then, when I was about to surprise my school coordinator for her birthday, some of my colleagues gave me credits and stated I looked sweet. And the last but not the least, one of my students' grandma told that I looked awesome wearing this dress and she smiled sincerely. Women support women has its own best power to boost my contentment.
