Intro

I was in grade school in the province pwe live only an hour away from the city. Our life was hard back then, my father worked in the city and my mother was a housewife. We are six siblings, three girls and three boys. I am the fifth of my siblings. My last memory was, we were a beak. We didn't have electricity, when we had electricity it's because of the illegal jumper. We fetch our water from the well or we fetch it from the neighbors. Sometimes when my father came home, he would take the buckets and drums in the cart to fetch them because they were far away. He put us in the cart while my father pushed, it was fun for me and my siblings but it was difficult for my father especially when the buckets and drums of water were full. That's how my family and I live. I have a friend and she is really my best friend, her name is Keyla and we are always together. She's the only friend I have before. We're very happy in our place, all the neighbors get along together until we moved out of the province a day journey in ship away from the city. In the province we moved are very peaceful, very quiet place, few houses. That's where we all studied. My father in the city is still working, he is far away from us. Our house is on the farm, lots of rice fields around. We lived there happily, we made a lot of friends. My mother learned to harvest rice, sometimes me and one of my older brother help take care of the land that my grandmother owns. My grandmother is the owner of the house that we lived in. My father was my grandmother's youngest child, so my father's family and I lived there and took care of the rice fields that they had established before. I can say that our life there is more prosperous compared to where we came from because there is plenty of vegetables there, the price is cheap. We also had electricity and water in the well so we had no water bill problem. Just a few months later we also learned their language. Their language is different from where we came from. As the years went by, we made a lot friends and we're able to finish elementary school. My sister, Cindy and my older brother, the eldest, Ricky have finished High School. One of my older brothers, Ariel, could not study. He became careless in his studies because of playing computer games. My other older brother, Vincent, and I graduated from elementary school together because he stopped studying for a year and my youngest sister is on her grade school days. My life is good because my parents raised us well until I went to high school.
