my name's Johm I'm 22 years old, I have never knew my father. I never really knew my mother. My mother left home when I was young just a toddler, met many men, and got HIV AIDS. When I was 9 years old, I heard my mother had died. I lived with my grandparents. Soon they too died. Then I lived on my own in the house for a while; alone at 12 Then I went to live with my uncle. I didn’t know why, but my aunt doesn’t like me, so one day I walked to my old home. When I got there, things looked different. Trees had been cut down and there was a lot of strange stuff all around. I talked to the neighbor and asked what had happened to my house and found out that my uncle had sold my house to a stranger. I felt anger in my chest, because now I had nothing. So I left, and at the age of 14 went to work doing manual labor for builders. I did not know how to read or write. When I entered the 9th grade, I was so behind that I had to teach myself, and eventually was able to graduate. At 19 on the streets of Siem Reap, I had no money and nowhere to go. at the first night I slept on the streets. It got colder than usual that night, and I stood under a light-bulb for heat and tried to sleep standing. When finally I went to lie on a bench, I imagined the perfect room that perhaps one day I would sleep in.“I was so hungry. I prayed and asked if this is what my life was going to be like. I thought maybe I would die. Next morning I woke up and found 5 American dollars. God is so amazing. I could eat for one week. I bought a loaf of bread and cheap water. “The next evening I met some rough speaking, smoking, drinking boys. I was a little afraid. They asked me some questions. Then he said, “Stay with us.” So I did!!“God is so amazing, I didn’t have to be in their gang. “The drinking boys helped me get a job in a restaurant because I was able to speak a little English. At this restaurant I met Sarah she’s from New Zeeland she’s an amazing woman and she’s full of love from God she consider my aunt, and brought me to know older Australian woman who became a spiritual mum to me.“then I had a mum. she tough me a lots of staff I love every her single way She gave me a very nice room to stay,” the room is “Just like my dream. God is so amazing.”My mum took me grocery shopping on her motorbike “just like a real mum.” Then last year, my Australian mum died.“She was old and sick.”She was 61.“I didn’t cry but I felt so sad inside.”I only had my mum for a year. All this sadness pushed into such a young life, and yet I gushes joy. that’s the end of the story (or as some might say, “just the beginning…”)
