MY STORY
It was life with sadness. I was born in 1997. I am 13 years old. My mum and dad died many years ago. I don’t have a brother or sister. I am a lonely child. I have one uncle who was my mother’s brother and her sister. My aunt supports me and I love her so much.
She has two children who are now like my brother and sister. When I was in the clinic my dad was in the mortuary. I went off to live with my uncle’s wife. She was cruel to me. My grandmother came and took my away. I went to live with her. She died five years ago but now I live with my grandmother’s sister. I am in school.
I have forgotten about my parents. I know one thing, am happy to find that I have somebody who can help me with everything I need. I am so happy and I give thanks to God. My friends who are like me don’t give up. If you will be simple you will see that life is not hard, I have a great future infront of my life. I will try to work so hard.
