About my my life
I came from a large family, where my parents had sevene children. I ame the only girl in my family. I raised in the farme,but not to far from my school.My father was a famer, and my mother was an house wife. My father didn't want my mother ,because of us. He wanted her to say in the house to take care of us. While my mother was in the house takeing care of her children, she used to make dresses for people.Life wasn't to easy for my parents,to putted all the seven children to school , and feed. When I start going to school, I remember my parents putted me in one little school in the farme near the house.After my brothers finished their high school, my parents sent them to the city for college.While my brother was in city with my aunt,she became sick. My had to leave the farme, and moved to the city with me to go help her sister, and the boys.From there i stayed in the city an finished my high school. I did not attend to college, after my high school, I found a job in a library. I worked there for a long time. My father decided to leave the farme and came to the city. When he came he open he's one store. What happen was he sold everything he had in the farm. That what help him toopen the store. I stayed in the city until I had my first boy than came in this country.

It does not sound like a very easy life, Ruth. Would you say you were basically happy, though? What was it like growing up with so many brothers? I only have one brother, and that's bad enough!
