I lie in my bed staring at the dark room in front of me,
"Ashley? Do you wanna play with the other kids downstairs?" A caregiver asked.
"I'm good thank you" I was only thirteen years old and I had been in this orphanage my whole life, but this orphanage isn't going to be my home much longer. This may seem great for me and I am lucky that I have shelter but we are actually very poor here. Everyday we eat a small portion of food for meals and bad behavior equals punishments such as going to bed early, getting a lecture, losing privileges, etc. They're not so bad. But to make things worse, when I was three months old my parents died in a very serious car crash.
"LIGHT'S OUT!!" A caregiver yelled. All the girls came rushing to their cot, but I noticed one girl was missing the girl who slept across from me.
"Where is Liz?" The caregiver asked
"She is still playing with the pony," a girl said,
"I'm sorry but Liz is going to have to be punished" She said
"What is the punishment?" I asked
"No playtime for the rest of the week!" she yelled
"But Liz is one of the youngest kids here, can't you cut some slack?" Another girl said.
"Unfortunately not," she said, annoyed. What is going to happen to Liz I thought..
Oh well, life is never really fair, is it?
About an hour later...
"What happened, Liz?" Everyone started asking, " I don't have playtime for the rest of the week and I got a lecture" She said while crying. I didn't even care that much, I have seen kids cry over the dumbest things before, But to me everything here was easy for me since I am the oldest and I have been here for thirteen years.
