And then mom look at me and said ok if you wanna go to school then here's you birthcertificate follow the kids, I' m so happy but also scared because I ' ll by my self and the school is far too its about 20 minutes to drive , and I walk together with other kids and then when I get to school dont know what to do I was just standing behind the door of a classtoom then a lady come out snd adk me what Am I doing and Why I m not inside the room and said whose with you I said just me . And handed my birthcertificate with her so she bring me to another room and help me out then i was enrolled, from that day I start school also that day my my life is getting more harder everyday but never complain whaterver my mom and older sis to do , i have to do and finish it , we all have our own little chores to do.
