Analysis Of 'The Education Of Little Tree'

On the eyes of a Little Tree

“ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus”(Galatians 3:28).

Growing up in this part of the world, I have to say that I was fortunate to have a mom that was an architect and a dad who was a lawyer because I didn’t suffer any necessities growing up.

This proves that it
