A true story

I have a cousin named Maria. She lives in Los Angeles, America. Since childhood, I have seen that their family had a lot of poverty. There were three brothers and one sister in her family. She was the eldest child in the family. Her father was the only earner. He used to earn money to support the family. This caused a lot of trouble for her father.

Maria did not have the opportunity to study after passing her high school exam to take care of the family. Later, she took a year-long course on virtual assistant. She is currently working as a successful virtual assistant. Initially, she could not earn much as a virtual assistant. But gradually her income is increasing as her client increases.

Maria, a single mother from Texas, started working as a virtual assistant without any experience at the very beginning. Although her income was low at first, she now earns about 70 thousand dollars a year.
