My childhood
It was a beautiful day. My adoptive parents had purchased an old home. This used to be a burdel in the old days.
Workers were working to get it fixed up so that we could move in. Suddenly there was a cloud of dust everywhere. The wall that was being repaired collapsed. It was chaos!
Was anyone hurt? Luckily nobody was hurt. This was my first realization that things will not always be what you expect.
After much work, the wall was rebuilt. But my life was changed forever. I was expected to be a good, loving, smart daughter. School was easy when it came to studying but my social life was hell. I had no friends and I didn't want any. I was ten years old.
My teacher didn't like me and I didn't like him. Other students would bully me and nobody did anything about it. I was kept after school for things that others did. I was kept after school for defending myself.
How was I to survive and grow up to be a confident woman? At that moment, I didn't even want to survive much less grow up. What was i expected to do at the age of ten?
