That day was over and I packed my stuff and left; I left the home I had lived in most of my life. That house was now gone and I had no chance of going back. When I left I went to a street where a lot of people walked on and begged for money. This wasn't how I wanted to live my life but I had no choice. Before I went to sleep I counted my money and had a total of $10.57. It wasn't a bad start but it wasn't the best. The only thing I had was a phone, computer, clothes and a very little amount of money. That's it, but even if I had all this stuff, this isn't living, and it wasn't right. The next day I collected $15.11. Then I thought about renting an apartment, so I looked on the Internet but all the prices were too high. Each apartment cost at least $70 per month and currently I only had $25.68. This was going to be long life. But I was prepared for it. When I went to bed all I could think of was hope, hope for something to build off from so that I could live a good life, but hope is a long way from now.
