The Movie Life

For some people, life just seems easy. That’s not how my life is. From the time I said my first word, my mom told me it was “Rouba”, my mom’s name, life has been quite interesting. I can tell you a little about it. At first, I lived in Canada. It was fine, but we moved three times from the time that I was a baby until I was four. In kindergarten, I got into my first fight. By the time I was in middle school, we had moved to Lebanon. That was a lot different than Canada. The first two months were okay. Then things happened and changed the cycle/routine. First the revolution, also I came to America on October 6 the year before that in 2019 October 17 is when the revolution of Lebanon started. My grandparents died, then covid, after the explosion at the port, no water, no gasoline/diesel, stealing/crimes have happened, and no electricity. That is why I left. It was to be a movie but it happened in real life. I would not be now in front of you reading out this story. I would be now in a poor country, a poor city, and a poor life in Lebanon not living in America.

With this story, I tried to say that I had a life like in the movies. I used a simile at the end, when I compared my life to a movie.
