Hi I'm Saila madalou

"Life as a 14-year-old Grade 10 student like me is already tiring. Right now, it's all about research, but that's just how it is if you want to achieve your dreams. Of course, my life here in school is boring too. I don't have many close friends here, maybe around five, and sometimes I'm even left out.

Hi, I'm Sailai H. Madalou, 14 years old, Grade 10 student, and future doctor of my family.

I'm on my way home from school, and I'm really tired. I wonder if you're also tired before heading home. As I'm thinking, my dad suddenly called me. "Hello, kiddo. Where are you?" "I'm on my way home, Dad, waiting for a ride." "Be careful, okay?" From his voice, I knew he was crying. "Dad, is everything okay? Tell me." "Nothing, kiddo. Papa's just tired." "Dad, I know something's wrong. Please tell me." "Well, kiddo, Papa has a big debt, and they can't wait any longer for me to pay it off. But I've asked for one more chance to pay it, because if we don't, we'll lose our house and bakery, kiddo. Just a little more time, okay?"

"Dad, does Mom know about this?" "Not yet, kiddo. I'll tell her later." "Okay, Dad, be careful. I love you."

What's with this? It feels like problems are already waiting for me when I get home. But that's just life, I guess. I know Papa's feeling worse right now, so I won't add to his problems.

After taking a break, I'll head home. And When I get there, they'll probably be looking at me with worried faces, and I know it's because Papa already told them. I won't hesitate to approach Mom and hug her. "Ma, please don't cry."

Mom and Dad didn't stop crying, so we let them cry until they calm down and think. Even I'm feeling emotional about our family's problems. Who wouldn't be when they're about to lose their house and livelihood? But we won't be an example of weakness, Mom and Dad. I need to think of a way. As a student, I can become a working student to help Papa pay off the debt, but I'm sure I won't be able to focus on my studies.

From now on, I'll be a working student to help Papa. #notabigdeal. After thinking about it, I told my two younger siblings to go upstairs and sleep. I'll follow soon to rest and not bother Mom and Dad, so they can think and come up with a solution.

This text describes the struggles of a 14-year-old student, Sailai, who is dealing with her family's financial problems and her father's debt. She's determined to help her family by becoming a working student, despite the challenges it may bring to her studies.
