• it was last month when the tragedy happened , i was twelve years old and my mother and father died. Ever since then i've been alone in the world but oddly im not sad or astonished or depressed.........and it wasn't because my parents didn't love me or treated me unfairly. Actually they were the most loving caring people you could ever meet. They were both scientist making new discoveries and finding cures. they even donated to the poor and gave thousands of dollars to the shelters in africa. My parents were the most amazing people in the world and their was no reason for me not to love them and miss them other then feeling like one thing, that most kids my age tried not to feel and that feeling was being an outsider, someone who doesnt
    belong or doesn't fit in with the crowd......and why would i feel this you ask well the only logical explanation is becasue i felt my parents were to perfect and i would never live up to their expectations but i guess i was wrong about that because, today was the day i recieved the later
    that my mom wrote to me when the fire began and it said............Dear maria brim which was my name, me and your father are truly sorry for this you are now alone in the world with no famliy and it breaks my heart to have to make you suffer because of our mistake, but sweetheart i always want you to know that i never wanted to change you and you were the best thing that ever happened to us im not worried because in know you will make the right decisions in life and live to your own expectations and goals. I really love you so much and wish i could always be by your side.
    love,
    mom & dad
    from that day on i felt different about my parents and how i felt towards them. I began going back to school and i tried my best , because i had a goal to accomplish and it was to become a scientist like my parents who will help people other than myself.
