4.3 Final Project

For my final project I made a  short story about a children who is an orphan and her parents passwed away. The name of the story is "Hope" because she has faith on finding a new family that can give her love. I wrote the story from my mom experience because my grandmother died when she was 18 years old. My grandmother had an accident when she was crossing the street, and she was ran over by a man.

 My parents where looking for my grandmother for more than a week. My mom felt gulty because she let her go alone.  After the lost of my grandmother, now my grandfather just passed a way three months ago. My mom stop eating and got sick so continuously. So I used some parts of her own experience and put it into a short one but changing some parts.

Here is my story for those people who prefer to read it and I just remove the conversation between the girl and the boy.
 
                                                                      "Hope"

         When I was five years old my mother passed away. My dad was the most affected of all this. He started to drink and stop taking me to the school. He would constantly forget things, such as, go to work and completely forgot that he had a daughter to take care of. I do not blame him because I also felt the same way, but I tried to be strong and cheer him up. Once when we were going back home, we passed by a small restaurant that was located at the next corner. The restaurant had the same name as my mother; Esperanza, which means hope. The same day when we were walking down the street, suddenly my dad stopped walking and looked at the woman who was playing piano inside the restaurant. He kept looking at her and did not say a word. But I could imagine what he was thinking, he was thinking about my mom. That very first day, when my parents met each other in that same restaurant and when she used to play piano. He loved the way she played the piano and every single day at the same time he would sit in front of everyone and listen to my mother.  After few days my dad decided to talk to her and asked her to go for a walk. From that day on, they kept seeing each other and one day, in the middle of the night he asked her to marry him. My mom accepted and the ceremony took place at Esperanza Restaurant because the owner was my grandfather.

            Two years later my dad died of sadness. The rest of my family lived far away and the only person I had in my life was my aunt Kathy. She was my dad’s sister; she was the only one who decided to take care of me. She had no children and took custody of me, but soon she got a letter where it said that she could not take care of me. She felt powerless and the government decided to send me to an orphanage. It’s been six years since my aunt died and I have no family who can give me love. My aunt was the only one who used to visit me every single day, until one day she stopped doing it. That day I thought that she no longer wanted to see me. A week later, without knowing anything about her, a nun told me that someone was on the phone and she wanted to talk to me. I asked her who was it? She replied that it was my aunt. I was very upset because she never came to see me again. I told the nun that I was not going to answer the phone but she insisted.  Ever since that day I regret for not having answered the call. She was calling to tell me how much she loved me and what I meant to her. Once she told me that where ever she goes, she will always be there for me. She just wanted to hear my voice for the last time, but I was selfish for not taking that call. I’m going to regret for the rest of my life. Now, I have neither my aunt nor my parents. That’s why I cry, every time I remember about it, the people that I love are no longer here and I am here all alone.

It was kind of hard to make the video because this is the first time that I make a video with pictures and captions. I had trouble making the video and find a song for my story because I could not find the appropiate song for my story. I also had trouble uploading my video to youtube but finally I know how to do it.
