 * Why am I the one to be punished? I think it is unfair to move to a place don't even want to. I wanna be in Peru smelling the corn and having fun with my friends but, no! I had to say good-bye to all my friends who I known for my whole life. No more walking in Machiu Pichiu anymore or going to the market everyday after school. Why couldn't my father find work in Lima, instead of Cleveland? Hopefully I'll wake up from this nightmare that has been going on for days. When I woke up I went to the kitchen, I was still in my dream though. My mother was sitting at the table crying as my father tried to comfort her. Then my father looked up at me and said," Mama, I lost my job" he said looking at the floor. I gasped and then ran out the door.**=====

 * I ran and ran until I came to a garden where men and woman were working at. It was big and filled with flowers and vegtables. There was so many different kinds that only one person could think of because of it pure beauty. The air smelt like you were have a picnic and someone brought a bouquet of flowers. I layed down on the bench right next to the pumpkins and watched them spring up from the ground like frogs in a river. I stayed there for hours, until I felt a drop on my back. Then another one . I looked up and one hit me right in my eye. Then it started to pour as it did I started to cry. Nobody would notice though that I was crying because it was raining so hard. I felt depressed about my life and wanted to be back home where it would be sunny. I wanted to be with my friends, who could comfort and care for me during this crucial time. I didn't move from the bench. I just watched the rain show until someone came and wrapped a blanket over me. I thought it was my father, but when I looked up I saw a boy. He looked like he was in my age group. I heard a loud roar. Then he grabbed my arm and took me into an Abandoned Warehouse. He put me on something hard when I looked up I realized that it was a couch that had stuffing showing out of. When I turned around I saw that it had rose petals on it. He put another blanket on me. While I was getting adjusted he started a fire too. It felt warm on my cheeks and then I fell asleep on the couch. When I woke up he was still there watching the fire. I went to go sit next to him. When I sat down I asked him,"What's your name?" "Gonzalo." Then he whispered something in spanish. I asked him," Why would you say that?'" He looked at me with a smurk, then asked,"You speak Spanish?" I smiled back and said," Yes!" After that we talked there forever. He walked me home after the rain stopped. He said good-night in Spanish and left. I ran after him to say thanks, but he was already gone.**=====

 * I went back home and called my chicas and told them about Gonzalo. The next morning I saw Gonzalo and we went back to the Warehouse where we met. I told him about what happened yesterday. Then he gave me an awesome idea to grow a garden and sell what I grew. So I did. Me and Gonzalo worked together, we grew yuca,corn and potatoes because they are my favorite veggtables. Then after 3 days of working on my garden, Gonzalo asked me out on a date. And I said,"Yes!''**=====

 * 5 years later Gonzalo and 1 got married. We went to Peru for our honeymoon. We visit my old home and I caught up with my old friends I told them about how 5 years earlier I grew a garden to save my family. With excitement I shared how on the first day we made $528.00 dollars, our new buisness that we open up in the winter when it gets to cold, and the garden we grow in the summer. If it wasn't for my dad I wouldn't have lived in Cleveland and married Gonzalo.**======
