The Story of my Life

I was born in a small slum in a very poor family.

I played on the dirt roads with broken cycle tubes and other things I found in trash.

My parents did not go to school.

I wanted to go to school but I did not have clothes or shoes or money to buy them.

. I wanted to be like the other children who were in school and had new opportunities.

But I had to go to the nearby market to work when the big bell dinged every morning.

While at work, I loved looking at those lucky kids in their uniforms, entering schools with their back packs.

I wanted to be given a chance to create a better life.

seemed closed on me. But all doors

Then one day a happy change came into my life. .

A woman named Kathy started telling my parents to send me to school and also gave me uniforms, books and backpacks!

I was so excited about my new pencils and books, my smiles just wouldn't stop!

She even got cameras for me and my friends, and I have taken pictures that even many grown ups like!

I make sure I go to school even when it is raining hard.

Even my parents take interest in my schoolwork and assignments.

I hope every kid in the world gets them! It feels so good to get new chances .
