I was kicked out by my parents, forced to live on the streets. I fed on food in dumpsters or when someone kind gave me something to eat. I slept on cardboard and if I was lucky enough I had some newspaper to cover myself.

It was a freezing cold night, rain pouring. I was sitting on a piece of cardboard, shivering. So cold... I thought to myself, my arms around my knees. Suddenly I felt someone looking at me from above.
