If I could change one thing about my life, what would it be?
In Nigeria, there was a young woman named Felicia who lived in Lagos. People really liked her because she was friendly, curious, and cared about others. But there was something she wanted to change about herself - she was often too scared to try things she wanted to do.

Felicia worried that if she tried something, she might not do well, and this stopped her from going after her dreams. She would spend many nights thinking about all the things that could go wrong and feeling unsure about what to do.

One day, when she was at a busy market, she met an older lady named Boluwatife. They talked, and Felicia shared her worries with her. Boluwatife understood how Felicia felt because she had also missed out on things because she was too scared.

Listening to Boluwatife's story made Felicia feel better. She decided that she wanted to change and not let fear control her anymore. She asked for advice from people she looked up to, read books that helped her feel stronger, and took small steps to face her fears. As time went on, she began to feel more confident.

With her new confidence, Felicia faced challenges head-on. She didn't let fear hold her back anymore. She started a place where kids who didn't have a lot could learn and feel empowered. Her work inspired others to believe in themselves too.

As years passed, Felicia's place became really popular, helping lots of kids. One day, she talked at an event about how she used to be scared but changed her life. She mentioned meeting Boluwatife and how that changed her path.

After she spoke, a man came up to Felicia. He said he was Boluwatife's son and thanked Felicia for helping his mom feel better. He told Felicia that hearing about her journey had encouraged Boluwatife to do something she loved. Felicia's story had helped both of them.

From then on, Felicia kept doing well, and she used her experiences to help others be brave too. And Boluwatife, she started doing what she loved again because of Felicia. Felicia's choice to change herself had a big impact, making her life better and also making Boluwatife's life happier.
