Dear Diary,
My life is falling apart and i have no one to occupy but myself.
When I won this free exchange program to attend my high school here in the United States, I was full of excitement, hope for the future, and now I know that I’m never lucky and when I have things I ruin things. My name is Ana and I was born in Brazil, I came to the USA when I was 16 and I settled in a small town.
My host family was supposed to be a couple with a son two years older than me and his grandmother.
Weeks before my arrival the couple passed away and as all the paperwork was already finalized and archived there was no change.
Look, yes I know, it seems I’m cursed to carry death wherever I go, first it was my parents in that bloody car seat when I was seven and, and now this, it really doesn’t get out of my head that I’m cursed to not have father figures in my life.
But despite that I arrived optimistic and met Tom and his grandmother Mary who welcomed me and treated me so sweetly for someone who was in mourning and when I thanked Mary she replied that I was a sign from God, that they were not alone, that they could still to have a family and I was the chosen family of her late children.
I was so happy to finally have a family.
I heard the sound of a car from the gate, they must have arrived, dammit.. I’ll tell you more next time.
