Let me tell you about my family. I have had a rough life. When i was a child, i really never had what you call "good parents". They would always fight in fount of me even when i was like two years old. I would always see my dad punching my mom and my mom spitting at my dad, but it was a normal everyday thing for me. I just had to watch because we didn't have a TV. One day, my dad was fighting with my mom and he grabbed her head and threw it into a toaster. i was so scared it would be me next. My mom was bleeding and wasn't responding for about 3 hours. i didn't know what to do. this happen a lot until they got a divorce. she would drink until she would end up in the hospital. he would hit her till she was all black and blue. He used drugs right in front of me but i just had to watch because i was just 5. then i went to live with my grandma. it was ok. i still got to see my mom, but my dad was in jail.  untill, my mom would stop paying child support , stop calling, stop showing up. I stiil have nightmares that she is gonna take me away. i feel so scared on streets. i feel so lonley. i fell sad everyday. Nothing can help me. I havent seen my mom in 9 years. my dad  is better. he has a girl friend. but im just here. trying to smile. 

Nya is caring for getting water by her self and going through all the danger through the walk. in the book it says that she walked al log way just to get water for her family.This is related because she would get just a little bit of water for her family.


Salva is sad or depressed because people are dying. In the book it said that everyone he was with was dying. This is related because when people die you are usually sad.

One trait for me is caring because i love to help the disabled. I help disabled people 3 days a week and have fun with then.
