CHAPTER 1: MY FAMILY (14 YEARS OLD)
“MARY” HAS DIED
Today is my birthday. I have grown a lot.
I think I have to say thanks to my parents.
I have to get better notes at school and stay well so they won’t get sad. To do this, I need to think that this start of my youth like something important, without repenting anything.
I will gocamping in two days, but first I have to finish my chores so I won’t have to worry about anything. ¡Let’s go, let’s go Aya!
“Tiger”, the dog of the neighbors has bit “Mary” in the head and killed her. “Mary”, that was very little, got very close to “tiger”, moving her tail very friendly. I screamed with all my strength “¡Mary, no! ¡come here! But…
“Mary” must be very frustrated. She died withoutsaying one word. ¡“Mary”, I hope you are happy wherever you are!
The new house is finished.
The big rooms of the second floor are for my sister and me. The roofs are white. The walls are dark wood. What I see through the windows is different. I am happy to have my own room but I think it’s too big and lonely. I wonder if I will be able to sleep tonight. ¡it’s like starting all over again!1. I will take a loose shirt and pants (it will be easier to move).
2. Chores I have to do: water the plants, get rid of the weeds, look for insects behind the tomatoes I planted, and look if there are roaches, and take them out.
3. Don’t leave aside my chores.
4. Write in my diary every day.
I will make sure that I will do everything.
My family
Dad. 41 yrs old. Sometimes he getsvery mad but he is very nice.
Mom. 40 yrs old. I admire her but she is too sincere and that scares me sometimes.
Me.14 yrs old. Starting my teens, the hardest age. If I would have to describe myself in one word, it would be “crybaby”. I’m full of emotions. I’m innocent and I can pass to being angry to laughing all day long in a second.
My little sister. 12 yrs old. I have seen her as a rival atschool like at personality. Lately she has been bossing me around a lot.
My little brother. 11 yrs old. He is very smart…he scares a bit. He is smaller than me but sometimes he becomes a big brother. He is also like a father to koro (1).
My smallest brother. 10 yrs old. He has a big imagination but he sometimes becomes absentminded.
My smallest sister. 2 yrs old. She has the curly hair of mymom and the face of my dad. She’s adorable.

CHAPTER 2: ENDURING THE SICKNESS.
SYMPTOMS
Lately I think that I have lost weight.
¿Is it because I skip meals, because of all the chores I have to do and the science project?
I can’t concentrate so I worry.
I blame myself but it looks like I can’t progress.
My energykeeps vanishing.
I want to earn a bit more weight.
From tomorrow, I need to act accord to the plan I wrote.
It has been raining. Going to school with a lot of books and an umbrella is kind of hard.
While I had those negative thoughts, my knees collapsed and I fell in a small street close to my house.
I hurt my chin badly. Carefully, I put my hand on my chin and I felt how the sticky blood goton my hand. I picked up what fell from my backpack and my umbrella and went back home.
My mom came out saying “¿have you forgot something? If you don’t hurry, you will be late. ¿What happened?
I couldn’t say anything and I started to cry.
Rapidly my mom went for a towel and started to clean my face that was full of blood. I felt how sand got inside the wound.
She said “we have to go with thedoctor” and helped me to put on clean clothes and put a little cloth in my wound and we went in the car to the hospital.
The doctor put two stitches without anesthesia.
I tightened my teeth and tried to endure the pain because it was all my fault for being so clumsy.
But, aside from that, I’m sorry mom for making you ask for the day at work mom.
While I looked at my chin at the mirror, I was...
