The My Hero Project

My final project consisted of a letter to my abusive father. In the letter I talk about the way he has made me feel my whole life. The genera I guess that mine had was sadness and loneliness. The feeling of being trapped is such a huge problem in my relationship with my dad and he fact that he is extremely manipulative,controlling and strongly opinionated.

I always want to be motivated and try not to give up for whatever I want, I knew that by working and keep doing the hard work I will achieve what I really want. However, when I was 13 years old my older brother left home and he went to the US to study and since that day I had this dream to go and study in the US to learn a new language,…
