My Childhood


I was born in the Dominican Republic. I’m the first daughter of my mother. I said from my mother because, I grew without my father. I have a sister and a brother. When I was one year old my father’s family celebrated my first birthday my mother said. When I was three years old .I went to school, I didn’t like to go to school and neither did my homework, I used to lose my notebook because I didn’t like to do my homework.
When I was seven years old, I went to different places with my mother, sister and brother every Saturday. Now I miss those moments. When I was eleven years old, I had to take care of my sister and brother, because my mother had to work away from my house at a garment factory. When I was sixteen years old, my mother came to the United States alone to look for a better future for my sister, brother and left all the three of us back in Dominican Republic.. I passed through terrible moments without my mother. We lived with my grandmother. She was an old person at that time and I had to take care of her more than before. My grandmother used to go to her own house outside of the city. Thanks God we are now together with my mother.
