I'M A GIRL WITH TWO BIG SISTERS, BROTHER IN THE WAR, DAD IS ALWAYS ON THE MOVE, AND MOM DOING THE LAUNDRY. WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY BROTHERS WERE JUST KILLED IN THE WAR. WE WERE HORRIFIED BY THAT...MY MOM HAD DEPRESSION AND GOT SICK. WE HAD TO CARE FOR HER. WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY BECAUSE THE BANK WAS JUST ROBBED NOT TOO LONG AGO. WE BARELY EVEN HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY MEDICINE FOR MOM. DAD WAS ALWAYS OUT OF TOWN, AND WE ARE AT THE HOUSE TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF MOM. MY SISTERS ARE AS LAZY AS ME, THINKING ABOUT BOYS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!
