Diary+Entry

1. As usual, I was busy spinning pens during class. I could not concentrate on any of the stuff that Mr.Tahashi was talking about. I did not need to anyways. Today is the day when my mom had died. It past exactly 8 years already. I remember the day of the accident. It was Tuesday evening. I was practicing karate with teachers and friends. There was a battle with my friend. I lost. I was so angry that I started crying. Then, my mom came. Every time I saw her face smiling, I smiled too. Whenever I felt sad, mom was there. I was so happy that I forgot that I lost. My mom came to pick me up. I said, " You will always be with me. Right mom?" She nodded with her smile. As we started to walk back home, it started raining.. There was a cat in the middle of the street. I was only 10 year old. I ran towards the cat not knowing that a car was coming... All I remember is my moms warm arms hugging me. My mom was no longer with me anymore. My dad stopped going to work. He drank day and night. It was all my fault. I am the one who killed her. I could not take it anymore. One day, when I came back from school, there was no one at the house. I waited for my dad to come back home. Few days past, still he did not come back... I was in the middle of the street bagging people for money. One day, a guy came up to me and asked if I want to come and live with him. He was a high school teacher. At first, I refused. But he insisted. He finally won over me and took me to his house. His house was warm and cozy. He told me that he wanted to be someone's father. I was thankful for all the things he had given me. But I could not give anything back. I thought I will never be happy again. He gave me food to eat, clothes to wear, and he even sent me to school. Years past, I became a high school student. My dream was to become a fastest pen spinner over the whole world.
