Kisura



" My parents moved from Gabon
when I was six. We came to
America with big hopes and dreams.
I would always hear them saying
money is everywhere in America!
You dont even have to be rich! Just
sign here!!. They were so happy.
We have been here for 19 years.
Things are very different now.
I think my parents are still happy.
But I always hear them arguing about
money. I hope they dont get divorced.
Oh well I dont want to think about that.
I have to focus on my books. I'm studying
to be a journalist. I have to make it so my
parents can be happy."

great stuff.

Is this a character you made up or did you make her based on a real story? I like it either way!
