1.
The Story of my Life

2.
I was born in a small slum in a very poor family.

3.
I played on the dirt roads with broken cycle tubes and other things I found in trash.

4.
My parents did not go to school.

5.
I wanted to go to school but I did not have clothes or shoes or money to buy them.

6.
. I wanted to be like the other children who were in school and had new opportunities.

7.
But I had to go to the nearby market to work when the big bell dinged every morning.

8.
While at work, I loved looking at those lucky kids in their uniforms, entering schools with their back packs.

9.
I wanted to be given a chance to create a better life.

10.
seemed closed on me. But all doors

11.
Then one day a happy change came into my life. .

12.
A woman named Kathy started telling my parents to send me to school and also gave me uniforms, books and backpacks!

13.
I was so excited about my new pencils and books, my smiles just wouldn't stop!

14.
She even got cameras for me and my friends, and I have taken pictures that even many grown ups like!

15.
I make sure I go to school even when it is raining hard.

16.
Even my parents take interest in my schoolwork and assignments.

17.
I hope every kid in the world gets them! It feels so good to get new chances .
