“Where is it?”…
It is now the 6th day in a row that I have heard that one voice, it haunts me day and night. I barely get any sleep! I mean who is it? That is the one question that I have been asking myself for the past six days. Could this voice be my long lost mother that abandoned me when I was just an infant? Or could it be my worthy sister who died in war when I was only eight?
Hello! My name is Sofia Valentina Garcia. I live in Wayland, MA with my dad Pablo. We moved here from Spain. Don’t tell my dad I told you this but we only moved here because of work issues… I mean when my mom abandoned us things got really hard. Soon, after my dear sister died in the war, my dad had to balance taking care of me and going to work. I mean who could do that much work? definitely can’t. If you are wondering what I am doing, I am writing in a journal that my Dad just saved some of his money to get for me. Today is my 15th birthday…well almost. My real birthday is tomorrow on the 2nd of January! I can’t wait! I just hope that all my friends that I invited are coming. But I am sure that they will make it on time! Most of them at least for example I am not sure that my friend Lucia Daniela (Lucy for short) will make it 🙁 She lives 3 hours away! WHY CAN’T MY FRIENDS LIVE CLOSER!. Sorry, sorry I got a little frustrated. Lucy and I met on a tour around the school a few days after me and my Dad moved here to this…strange… place. Why is the food so different here? I don’t understand anyone and I can’t speak any English besides a few words like hi or bye! Why does this have to be so difficult?
