WHY AM I IN SCHOOL?
By Lydia
I am in school to help myself and learn
for when I grow up. I don’t want to see
myself selling cabbage or borrowing
money or other things. I don’t want to see
my brothers suffering, especially Ronnie
because he is the last born and a loving
brother of my heart. I want him to live
a happy life and I want him to know that
he has a person who can take care of him.
I’m also learning to fill my promise that
I promised myself that whatever happens
I’ll work as hard as I can to help my
family. I am also in school for the sake
of other children. When I see children
outside eating dirty roots, sleeping in
dirty places, I usually feel pity for them
but I have no choice but to only leave
them there. Children usually suffer and
that’s why I learn in school, to help them.
