The Great Lie

What can you sacrifice for your friends and families to be happy?

There is a story about a boy named Lance Walters from London, England. About 10 years ago, when he was still in primary school, he was always a victim of bullying. Growing up with no father nor an image that he could look upon, he doesn't know how to respond into this scene of bullying. 

He studied from a private school where in all of his classmates are rich and famous while he belongs to a below average type of family. Her mother lost her job as an employee in a private hospital. When he graduated from his pre-school, he told his mother, 'Mom, when I get to first grade, I want to see tall buildings whenever I get to school everyday! I want to see a lot of cars and people.'. But before he even asked for this, his mom already has set the plan a long time ago. 

His mom, Louis, is a typical employee in a private hospital in White Chapel in East London. She receives patients and endorses them to the doctor. She has been in this job for 15 years. But August of year 2005, she lost her job. Something bad had happened to the hospital she was working for. The hospital had to fire their employees who have been serving them for quite sometime. They had to have some space for the 'new leaves' that are more 'fresh' than them. For 15 years of Louis' life, she has loyally served the hospital company. But this scene had changed the course of their lives. Louis, as a single parent, had raised Lance since his father left them when he was still four years old. Her son understood what had happened and he stood up for her mother.
