Living in a informal settlement

I wake up in the middle of the night while the rain is pouring, I sit on my towel/bed it's cold and freezing. I rewrap my self in my towel and fall back asleep.I woke up the next morning getting ready for school. There was an icy breeze coming through my mums shack. It is rusty very rusty in fact. I said my mums shack because my daddy died when I was 3 and now it's just my mum and me. My mum has two jobs and one of here boss are lean and very mean, trust me I know i've meat him.

I go to school but it it's not the best but i'm glade I actually go to school. I want to make my parents proud a specially my daddy.I want to be just like my daddy when I grow up he was the only one in his in tire school who got a collage degree.My school is small but manageable but the thing that gets to me is the text books problem.It's when all my class mates which is 56 in total have to share 14 text books between each other. We have breaks but our play ground is cramped but you still can run around in it. We only have two swings but one is broken and our school doesn't have the money to pay for a new set. So there is now a rule that you only are aloud 2 minutes on it. unfair right.

When school is over I walk home by my self. I am lucky because my house is not that far from home but I still have to cross a river. I feel bad for the other kids in my class because they have to walk at lest 5km to get to there house I just have to walk 3km. When I get home I start to do my homework right away.We get a lot of homework so in winter ( which it is ) it gets later quicker so I have to sit under a lamp post and when it rains I can't finish my homework.Then I go to sleep and wait for what tomorrow brings.


Wait, every time before I got to bed I think of all the things I want in my life to change. My main thing is I want my daddy back. The other things are that I want a better house yes I know that is a lot to ask but anyway anther things are security, private toilet, running water and privacy in my house area. I know I know it is a lot to ask and one day I'm going to make it my number one goal to provide all that I just thought for my children one day. 

My House.
