come to the U.S.A but I didn’t wanted to leave. My plane ticket and all the other things were already paid for so there was no going back.

Ah recess‚ the 30 minute time period where embarrassment didn’t exist. The embarrassing part really didn’t happen until I had to go back to class after recess.

No one had any clue how I got injured. Without thinking about how it happened my mom started cleaning the blood running down my forehead and said "we need to get him the the hospital right now".
