     You want to know my world and what goes on? Well, here's your chance. My name is Luna, I was born on June 9, 1999, and I'm an orphan. My parents left me when I was born, they weren't ready for a kid. I've been through over 60 foster homes every since I was born. My last foster home I was taken out of because I was abused, every kid in that house was moved to a new foster home. I don't stay very long in one place.
     Right now I'm in foster home with 22 other kids, we all get along quite well. We all eat together, learn together, play together, and honestly do everything together. They are like my actual siblings. "Luna!" Jane, my foster mom called down. I ran downstairs, "Yes?" I replied. "I know you wanted to help make dinner, are you still up for it?" she asked. "Definitely." I replied. I started helping grabbing pots and ingredients. "Luna, tomorrow we are having a new child coming in tomorrow to live with us, and I figured since you're 12 you can show her around. What do you think?" she told me. "Oh my god, I forgot I'm 12, now I'm old enough to show all the other kids around. That sounds great Jane, thank you." I replied. "You are very welcome." she replied. We made dinner and talked about school and how I was doing. Once dinner was ready, Amber, another foster kid set the table and we all sat down and ate together. "Who's excited for the new kid tomorrow?" I asked. No one answered, and Jane gave me a smile. I smiled back and continued eating. Once we had finished dinner and dessert we all went to get ready for bed and clean up. We all said Goodnight and went to bed. I stayed up a little longer than the other kids staring at the ceiling, thinking about tomorrow and the new kid. I slowly fell asleep with my mind full of thoughts.
