Sorry

La  Tristeza is often in the United States because we left my family in El Salvador. The day before I went to see my aunt Daisy and Doris to spend the afternoon with them and when I went to my house she told me to behave well and study. One week before I went to spend time with my grandmother. My grandmother Marina is very special to me, she took care of me when my mother went to work. The last day I was with the grandmother, I spoke with her. I told her to take care of herself and that I loved her too. I remember that I was sad because I went to the United States, I did not cry when I was with her when she got home, I went to my room and I went to mourn because I would leave her, my family and my friend.

I was scared in El Salvador I was scared everywhere. When I was 8 years old, my cousin was  killed in the afternoon when I was studying with a friend. They went to school and in the morning it was the last day I saw my cousin Jony : ‘(

A year after his death, we moved to another house because we were in danger because a gang member was going to kill us, we think it is because the conviction of the person who killed Jony. We were family of my cousin, a friend of my grandmother heard that we were going to be killed, the next day we started to pack our things and we move.

It would have been more than two years and my father sent money so that my mother, my sister and I went to the house that he was going to buy, my grandmother and my cousin stayed in the house where we moved first and I arrived the vierne to spend with them and Saturday afternoon I was going to bring my mom because

On Sunday I had to go to church in the morning and I used to be in church. The church was called the sacred heart of Jesus.

And one day I met some new friends named Alvaro, Edwin and Anderson. We played football in the afternoon with whom I got along very well was with Anderson. He lived next to the me with him playing all day.

We studied at a different school, I studied at the CEOH, which means the educational complex Ofelia Herrera, which was 2 minutes from my house. At school I was from kindergarten to 7th grade and it was dangerous because two students who were called Steva and Pablo had disappeared. One of them was my friend. The two who disappeared were neighbors. Well the time and a quick soccer tournament began the tournament was almost close to my aunt daisy and my godfather David called me to the team of him and ay juge 7 tournament the parties were once a week some match tournament we were campione.

In another second.

When the school is over I spent the vacation at my house and on Sunday almost 8 days to go to the United States some friends from the church made me a farewell in I did not know anything and I was happy and I was sad because I no longer they would be in El Salvador.

The day was almost here, we were going to the United States. I did not know that I was going to the United States, I was happy because I was going with this my dad . When we arrived, I was happy because we were going to see my dad. I was also happy because I was going to be calmer and I could live without worry about gang members. I was happy when I saw my dad, I thank him. I always say grace, “If it was not for him, I would not be here now”.

Now I spend a happy life without violence and without death. Every day I give grace to give for giving me one more day of life and for giving me a new life.
