My name is Susan and I live in an informal settlement this morning I woke up and I was ice cold because of the water that had been leaking from the hole in the roof ❄️💧💦 I thought about my dads new job and if it was good and school and how boring it is then suddenly I saw my clock it was 30 minutes till school started and I had to get ready! I ran to school. We only had 1 years t book in our class and School is 3 hours long and I am in grade 7 school was long and boring we learnt about the life cycle. Once school was done I had to walk home my route was a long narrow road between the sheds as I was walking I stepped on a sharp tin that had mud into it I yelled OUUUCH! my foot started to bleed but not badly, I saw a tap just as I sat down In the mud I limped with pain to it I got some water for the tap and put I on my cut it felt a bit better then I had to carry on walking home as soon as I got home it Was still a cut but wasn't as painful as it was earlier my 6 siblings where waiting for me at the lunch table today what is for lunch? I asked.today Was a great treat we got cheese and tomatoe for lunch.Then me and my best friend Ellen played soccer outside the small shacks we loved soccer we would play for 3 hours a day. it was night again every night before I went to bed I would wish for a better home and for a nicer school and collage I went to bed as cold as ever because of the Hole in the roof
Next morning
I woke up early, mom woke me up GOODNESS SHE YELLED "dads new job has got us a house" she said I yelled with excitement when are we moving in I asked? Now said mom.i went to tell Ellen she felt great for us then it was time for us to leave, when we where on our way out of the township I thought that this place taught me how to be thankful of what I have.
