The Metamorphosis

Part 1-

I hate my life. I have no job, I am never happy, I have no money, I have no parents and I have no education. Yes, some may say that it is my own fault. Some may say that everyone was given the same opportunities to succeed and what you do with your own life is totally up to you. But, I severly disagree. I was and still am at a disadvantage. And no, i'm not using that as an excuse or as a crutch, I am honestly disadvantaged. I was found on the street when I was small, my jerk parents just left me by a dumpster in Lhasa, China. Can you believe that? I was found by some lady who sadly enough, already had two kids so she could not keep me. She tried taking me to the orphanages but they were all full. Finally, she found some man who agreed to take me in under his wing. His wife wasn't fertile and she had been wanting kids for a long time. Sounds perfect, right? NO. It was hell. They were the most unfit parents I had ever seen. We were poor, un-educated and they were cruel. Luckily, they both died. Sorry to be so blunt, but it's the truth. I thought I was so lucky... man was I naive. I was supposed to have a clean slate, a chance to start my life over and do whatever I wanted, but things were incredibly tough for me. I was living in a country that was extremely overpopulated. Meaning, there were no available jobs, expcially for someone like me who had no education, and there was no where to live for free. I had to leave China, but I had no money for any means of transportation. Thats when I realized that I had to start my journey on foot. It was when I reached India that I could no longer go on. I hadn't eaten in forever and I had been on my feet for longer than I can remember. Right as I begin to slip away from reality, I saw a man standing above me. I was too far gone to realize what was happening, so I just let myslef go in the arms of a stranger.
