A Fun but Bad Childhood Neighborhood

By Joselyn Figueroa

The neighborhood I lived in was kinda bad because most of the time people would get

their houses robbed. Most people that lived in this neighborhood didn't have much money and

neither did I. My family was in poverty at the time, and my house was kinda small. I remember

one time there were 2 house fires

and 3 of the family members died

and the rest luckily survived. That's

really all I remember of my

neighborhood. I remember I used

to have five bunnies and loved

them so much. The neighbor had a

cat and every day the cat would kill

one of them. I would wake up and

see their dead body. I'm always so

sad when I think of this memory

and remember how traumatized I

was. Another thing was that I couldn't afford many toys, so I would play with the mud outside

my house after it would rain. I remember it would smell like cigarettes all the time. I went

outside to play with other random kids most of the time.
