I open the door, the cold iron handle stinging my fingers. I don't want to face my family, they wouldn't be disappointed but I know my mom will cry. I am a chloro. When I walk out of the room my family jolts up. They try to be happy. "The first of our family!" "I'm so proud of you!" "You will have so much fun!". All I can do is fake a smile, in 24 hours I will be on the train headed away from my family. I remain quite on the way home. My stomach was a deep pit of, I don't even know what. I went into my room and the tears started to roll down my face. I didn't want to leave. My sister Carmen walks in and hugs me," maybe next year I will be a chloro too!" " I don't want to go a whole year without my family." " you can do it." I walk over to my shelf and throw all of my pictures into a sack. "Don't be so upset, chloros have so much fun!" "yeah I guess so." That night we laughed and played games. My last night as a soil was alright, I guess.
