I want to be a football player

By Thet Win Htun

I often think of my mother and my father. I admire my mother a little more my than my father because she gave birth to me and fed me. I always feel gratitude toward my parents. Whenever I think of my mother, I miss her, I cry and I feel sad. I want to share my mother’s feeling. I was born on May 1, 1998. When I was five years old, I was sent to Shwegonedine Child Care Centre. When I was six years old, I was sent to Kyaik Waing Youth Training School. Sometimes I cry and I miss my mother.  

As a matter of fact, I also love my father very much. But when my father gets obsessed with drinking, I feel very angry at him. I will never get drunk when I grow up.

I admire my mother the most. I have no brother and sister. I envy those who have. If I had a younger brother, I would never leave him alone and always look after him. However, I have a cousin called Yarzar, he suffers from some kind of mental disorder. But he can make peoples happy. He is not the one to disappoint anyone rather he is very kind to others.

When I grow up I would like to be a football player. I do physical exercise to be able to be a good football player. I love to watch football matches. I try to learn how they play. When I become a football player, I will always remember and take care of my father and mother.

Thet Win Htun is 11 years old, he lives in the Kyaik Waing Youth Training School in Yangon and studies in the seventh grade.
