When I was Young

When I was young, as in primary school, the only friend that I have was a boy that live just upstairs where I live. He was my childhood playmate, schoolmate and best friend. Even though he is a boy but that doesn’t stop our friendship. At school, I have no friends, I was a bullied victim. I still remember, every day a girl (which is 2 years older than me) will come and take away all the money that mama gave me to bring to school (which is 60 sen at that time, I could buy a lot of food and snacks).

Every day during the break hour, I will go to the canteen feeling so hungry that my stomach was grumbling so hard until the person standing next to me could hear them. All I was able to do is watch them buy and eat their food. I was so hungry. I lost my focus in class, that i end up knowing nothing, I could not read, count or spell like everybody at my age does. Plus, my class teacher was reported to be mentally ill during my first year at primary school. Sad isn’t it? but that’s was part of my childhood life..
