Trying
to Free Myself
My
life
is hard.
I
am
the
youngest
of
eight siblings and
we live with our parents and grandmother
in a very small house.
Although I am the
only
one
who
goes to school
and
is
very
affectionate,
my
parents
usually
hit
me
and
I
don't
understand
why.
I
study
in
a
public
school
near
home.
There,
I
have
3
teachers
but
I find Miss
Noelia
special - she is
very
nice
to
me
and
treats
me
well,
not
as
my
schoolmates,
who
constantly laugh
at
me
because
of
my
old
clothes
and
my
odd
smell.
They
exclude
me.
I
try
to
ignore
them
but
I find it
more and more difficult. I'm
getting tired
of
it.
Being
8
years
old,
I
feel
under
a
lot
of
pressure
both
at
home
and at
school
and
I
really
don't
feel
comfortable
anywhere.
I
am about to take a dramatic decision. Before doing so, I'm
leaving
a
goodbye
letter
to
my
favorite teacher,
who
is
the
only
one
who gives me
some
love
and
attention.
She is the only one that deserves an explanation...
