This video is based on a true-to-life story of a priest's daughter who struggles to fill up her emotional emptiness caused by her past experiences. It aims to illustrate how self-empowerment channels to the discovery of one's purpose and potential, thus, leading to the gradual process of maturing. It shows how family experience becomes a source of many basic human motivations, but when marked with hostility and persistence, can turn the child to be aggressive and rebellious. Clearly, the home is where a child learns his/her first lessons in adjusting to love, hate, prejudice and aggression.
