Amina's dreams

Okay... Hi guys. I recently joined  a competition and I'd like for you to read through this short story and make a comment here please.

It's not too detailed due to the instructions given and this is a total of 350 word count on the dot, I can't exceed this. I don't know, should I post the prompt on here? Let me know what you think in the comments 😙

“Maybe mama was right after all, freelancing can't make you rich" thought Amina as she heaved a very heavy sigh. 

Amina, a 25 year old young lady, has always loved to record memories of everything, even the littlest things and this led to her great passion for photography.

Being the only child of her mother, responsibilities rest on her shoulders like the coat of many colours. Having lost her father to the cold hands of death at a young age, she was left with her ageing mother whom she had to take care of. She had developed a sense of responsibility at a tender age and that robbed her of her childhood unfortunately. However, she found solace in keeping memories. She always used to go to their photo album on the dusty old shelf, reminiscing the old times when her father was still alive and everything was so blissful for her family. This bred her interest in photography.

Because of how tough things were for her and her mother, she started freelancing, doing tasks online for the little amount of money they offered. Her mother wasn't happy about this and always nagged her to go find a real job and not rely on such mediocre jobs. Amina, however, wasn't deterred because she believed in her photography dreams - freelancing was just for the mean time. 

She knew her mother had her best interest at heart but she always craved to be seen and appreciated at the very least by her mother for all her efforts.

One afternoon, having been fed up with her mother's nagging for the day, she went off to a popular park to cool off and have a rethink of her whole dream. There, she met a random stranger who involved her in a heartfelt conversation. 

Coincidentally, he was a famous professional celebrity photographer who was just taking a break as he had a shoot in that same park that noon. 

She had come to that park reconsidering her life choices but left even more convinced and inspired not to give up on her dreams no matter what.
