After all the time I finally was lead through these pathways called they SS and made myself to Canada with the help groups that were involved in the situation. When I arrived in Canada I could immediately smell the freedom. The two main things I wanted for myself was freedom and peace. In Canada I've met a lot of nice people I was also greeted by a few. Canada for me was a place to start again and start a whole new life and forget about the slavery. Then days passed and I was ready to start school I packed my lunch kissed my mom and left. I new the directions but I was really scared and nervous wondering what the people at school were like bad or good. I finally get the life my family and I deserve. We are free and are able to many things. We can get the supplies we need. I've never felt better in my whole life. My family and I are treated with respect and not and never assaulted. Its great to be in Canada everywhere I go I no I will be ok and wouldn't have to worry about anything but my self and those around me.

I remember the days when I would wake up and have work ahead of me. I would walk outside to fetch water for my family. We were a very unfortunate family with no supplies. We live in a house built by any thing we could find. I would walk so far to fetch my water i would sit down and rest. Once i got a hand on the water I took a drink because of all the walking. The water had a brownish color to it, it wasn't pure but it was all we could find. After i would head back home and give my mom the the water and I would later on head to work. I work in this shop where I make T-shirts, sweaters and shoes. I would be paid 1 dollar every hour and I would work 10 hours everyday. After I would take that money and buy food for my family. The type of food i would buy is baked food like rice usually because that would take up the money I had which was just about 10$. My life was like this being tortured, But now my life is just about to change.
