Living conditions

To describe myself, there are a lot of things I can say. I am honest, serious, not shy. I do not like to argue with friends. I like to give advice. I like to laugh. I like to watch television, I love cartoons. I like when I jump rope. My favorite color is blue. I love animals like cows, cats, and dogs. I am sometimes angry. I want to change this and become generous. I feel best when I am dancing.

My dad is a fisherman. Sometimes when he is going to fish, he catches nothing. When he finds something, he sells the fish by the side of the sea or he goes down town to sell fish. The house we live does not belong to my parents. The house has one room. The problem is that it leaks. We can feel okay when it is not raining. There is no electricity.

Food and Nutrition

My parents have no way to make a good cooking. I eat a time one time a day. In my situation, we have no choice. I eat everything I find and when there is nothing to eat, I go to sleep without having something to eat.

Shelter and Clothes

The house I am living it is does not belong to my parents. They rent it $50 ht [$7.14 US] per month. The house has one room. It is too small. The problem is that it leaks. We can feel okay when it is not raining. When it is raining we do not know what to do. I cannot sleep because it is wet. There are rats, mice, mosquitoes, no bugs. There is no electricity. We use candle every night, but we often don

Personal qualities and Dreams

In my life the most important thing is my education, my health and my future. I see my parents in misery because they have no education or profession. And me, I do not want to be like them. I would like to become a famous person, a doctor. To reach my dream I hope to find a partner to help me continue my studies - that would be a wonderful thing and a great step in my life and for my family.
