We lived in Mexico and I could see the bright sun hit the side of the house. What began as a nice and fun day soon turned into a horrible day. One that I would remember for the rest of my life one that I could not imagine occurring to another person. It was just another ordinary day in our life’s or so we thought. I clearly remember my brother and I playing in the street in front of our house.(The street was mad of dirt of course and no cars went by it) We believed that we lived in an area where nothing could harm us. That thought soon turned into reality. I seen my mother that morning as usual she was getting ready to take a shower when she tolled us to be careful and told me to take care of my brother. I tolled my mother I would like always. Five minutes after my mother going into the house is when the fear began. My brother and I where sitting in the road just playing like we always had done, but for some reason that day had been different. When I looked up to the sky than back down I had seen two young boys on horses ridding. They where headed towards us. I began to panic like a little girl would I did not really know what to do at the time.I did know one thing though that leaving my brother and running would not be the smart choose. So when I seen that the two boys where headed more in my brothers direction(the left side of me) I decided to move him as quickly as possible to my right. So I did unfortunately they took a turn and decided to go the right way instead. When they went by one of the boys horses had ran over my brother. They did not even stop to see if he was okay they just kept on ridding as if nothing happened. My brother had blood on his face and he was not breathing. I screamed as loud as I could and my mother can out of the house running as well as my grandmother. My mom began to scream and cry and did not know what to do. She asked me what had occured and I tolded her. My granmather was trying to take the blood out of my brothers mouth because he was chocking on it. My mom called the doctor and they came to our house and they took care of my brother. He had eventually recoverd after a few days but it was the most scariest thing that had ever occured to me. During those few seconds and hours later only one thought was going through my mind, “Will my brother be okay, will he die, will he get well, how could this happen to him?” I am very happy and lucky to have my brother still by my side. I am glad and thank god for begining with us at that time and for taking care of my brother.
There are many people that have gone through hard times. The world seems to be changing every time it has a chance to do so. People are loosing their jobs and have to struggle through life. There are times when people do not even know what to do anymore. When people are left without a job or even any other options they feel that they have no chance in succeding at all in life. There are many people that have come to this part of the world to be able to have a better life. This is why when people no longer have a chance that they thought that they once did they loose hope in everything. When people loose there job it is a very big and important thing. The reason why is because that job is what was keeping that person and perhaps even that family alive. Life is not cheap at all we know that so people have to rely on their job. Their job is what provides them with food, a home, money to support their children, and even strength.
I have seen many people that I know have to leave there home do to many reasons. It is sad to see that a family will no longer have a place to care for each other, a place that they can come together and be family. I have seen people end up having nothing left and having to survive on the streets. It is very hard to see especially young children having to live the condition that they do. The recession has not affected me in a big way. Do to not having a job some people no longer have any other option they decided to take a wrong turn in life and do things that they never thought they would be doing or become a different person.
I think that things could change for the better but it will take time and effort from many people that are willing to help and take part. I am not quit sure on how we should prepare for it but I think that people need to try and help every chance they get. Many people are hoping that with the new president that we have things in the economy will change. “For every day we wait or point fingers or drag our feet, more Americans will lose their jobs. More families will lose their savings. More dreams will be deferred and denied,” said by Obama. This is very true in every way. I believe that with the new president Obama things could change for the better and things could change which is what people are hoping for.
