LALA Surviving

Lala is young, strong, smart, and ambitious. Her boyfriend is the perfect mate. Life isn't that perfect though. Focused and empowered, Lala stays busy with her job as a men's clothing store clerk and learns that her business desires cause her to stray away from what's important. The one thing that keeps getting in the way is her mental illness.

At work, she excels and performs at the job at JandJ Clothes that the manager, Jules, is grooming her to take on assistant manager duties. Lala is intuitive, and she knows what it takes to progress through the hard-core and established boundaries in the culture of the good old boys' club. The only bombshell that meets her efforts are anxieties and depression. She holds on and attempts to clear the hurdles of these conditions, but trips over them at every turn even with professional help. Lala's saving grace is her support system: her parents and boyfriend. Even then, they tumble. Aside from the health issues and family and friend deaths, Lala finds a way through hard work and study to climb to greater heights.
