Life as we know it....

[demon chloe]

~funny how even though we realize life is diverse...full of ups and downs..and everyone is struggling with different things, some things just reach out and bonk us on the head....

Today at school..I had my junior high school/ middle school students... turn in their journals..for me to read....


thought that maybe.... everyone should read this.... makes you feel....well...

Describe what it is like living with your family.

Adriana..is 12...here is her reply.....

Growing up in my family is very fun, and very difficult. For me it is dificult because sometimes I feel that my family dose not hunderstend me. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters. The bigest is my sister Guadalupe she is 23 years old... The secon one is Frank he is 19 yers old the third is Freddy he is 17 and then me and my littel sister violeta she is 6 years old. The amount of people that with me are 12 and they are my mom my dad My 2 borthers my 2 sisters my cusen and his wife and thir 4 kids. I live in a tiny trailer with my cusen but we look for a house because we came late from Texas. It is sometims loud because of my cusens. Kids are always crying for thir mom to cari them. There are 2 bedrooms and my mom and dad have one. I am lucky. We have cold air when its hot.

ya know.... i read both of those and to tell ya the truth it sounds as tho these kids have a pretty good families.... it's too bad they don't have all of the luxuries that so many of us take for granted... but if they are living in homes with lots of love.... then perhaps they have "more" then some of the wealthier families i have met.... but the sad thing is... in some cases kids don't have love or a sufficient home to live in.... and those are the ones whom my heart aches for
