STUDENT: CHRISTOPHER ALFARO

WRITING #2 - Draft

My father’s childhood was very tough. When he was eight, he moved to

Lima leaving all his friends. The first months was difficult because he
didn’t know anyone. One year later, his father died due to a mortal
disease. Being the older of three brothers, he was forced to help his
mother to sell in the market at mornings. He didn’t like the idea of selling
raw foods, but he was able to get used to. His poverty didn’t allow his
family to buy a menu everyday, so he had to learn how to cook at a very
young ager. Cooking for a family was very difficult for him, sometimes he
forgot to remove stuff like fish scales or chickens’ skin. Because he had
to work and cook in the mornings, he went to school at nights. Many of
the schools on that time, had rivalry with others. So, he was involved in
many fights with other students.
Although the difficult situations he had, he remained being a friendly and
persevering person.
