Leaving home

 

I came in 2003 to England.
I came on Tuesday.
I came with my husband and two daughters
I am very sad because my friends and my sisters are living in my country.
When I came I was heavily pregnant.
I was very tired.
I was very worried.
We came on Sri Lanken air line.
We came from Sri Lanka to London.
I like my country.

I'm from Congo, Kinshasa.

When I left my country Congo,
I came to England (10/10/2004)
When I came here, I didn't feel nothing.
I was afraid because I had many problems in my head.
I was sad because I didn't have money.
Now, I'm not working and I live with my friend.
