December, 2010
My name is Claudin. I am 10 - 13 years old. I am in class 6 ( grade 6 ). I came to the Home last year.
The happiest day of my life was when I came to the Home, after spending some days in the cold when the landlord had thrown my and my grandmother out of the house. I am happy now because I am going to school, and I can concentrate, and I am learning. The people at the Home are nice to us, and take great care of us, and even wash our clothes.
The saddest day of my life was when my parents died when I was a baby. How I miss to see them again. Even when someone dies I always feel very sad.
If I had 3 wishes they would be....to see my grandmother do well, to do good in school, and to get a good job after school.
What I like about me is how I perform in school, how I am disciplined, and that I appreciate what I have.
When I grow up I want to be a pilot, excel in life, and help orphans the way I have been helped.


Poem: I Am

I am kindness
I am helpful
I wonder how Australia looks like
I hear the sound of a cow
I see the clouds drawing a fish
I want to help the needy people
I am kindness
I am helpful

I pretend to be a First Aid
I feel like I am an Angel
I touch the sky
I worry how the needy get food
I cry because I lost my brother
I am kindness
I am helpful

I understand that education is the key to success
I say I want to have a better future
I dream to be an Air Hostess
I try to stop the child from stealing
I hope to be a wonderful mother
I am kindness
I am helpful
