STUDENT STORY: TALENT ELEMENTARY STUDENT - Brisa's story, English translation of HISTORIA DEL ESTUDIANTE: PRIMARIA DE TALENT: La Historia del Incendio de Brisa

Brisa’s Story about Her Experience with the Fire On the 8th of September 2020, I woke up and ate breakfast. I remembered that it was my sister’s birthday. We started to watch television. My mom was outside, and I went outside to see her, when I saw a lot of smoke and my mom said, “WE HAVE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!!! WE HAVE TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!” We went into the house and packed up a little, then we got in the car with my sisters and my mom was driving. We went to get my dad at his work. On the road we saw fire, many other cars, and smoke. I felt very sad to leave my house. From there we went to a very faraway place and spent the night, and the next day we went back to see our house, which was not there. 

 I felt very sad and frustrated because I lost all my things. What I miss most is my bed, my toys, and my trampoline.
