I was enforced to recall the attack from my hospital bed and pick out the criminal from the picture file for the videotaped testimony. All I wished for, is for the bad man to be caught so that he cannot do this again. I became fearful of all older men, including my own father. After I was released from the hospital, I was able to talk again and started going to school again but from time to time I would leave school because of my sickness.
The epiphany that this incident had on me, is that it made me hate the world and not accept myself again. It also affected my education because most of the time I could not go to school because I was sick or I would fall sick in the middle of the class and had to go home. Most of the time I would ask myself why I was born into this cruel world. The event also traumatized me because always wake up in the middle of the night shouting and asking for help. I never wanted to be to open or close to my dad, I always treated him as if he was a criminal
