My Bugs Life
When I woke up in the morning I realized that I have been
changed
into a cockroach. “This horrible change impacts my entire life and my
family
and friends” I said to myself. “It can’t be real” I said in my mind.”
How can
it happen?” When I looked in the mirror and saw myself I fainted. After
I
regained consciousness, I looked at my reflection motionless with no
feelings
and said, “Disgusting. It can’t be real; maybe it is just a dream,” and
I fell
asleep again. I fell into a deep sleep, until my sister entered in the
room and
started to scream loudly. Rapidly, I woke up and I joined her in
screaming
because it wasn’t a dream; it was real.
I realized that I could not speak. Nobody could hear what
I was
saying. It was horrible. Now the only person I could talk was me. I
tried to write
on a paper but I couldn’t hold the pen. My legs were too hairy and
dirty, and
from my mouth a sticky liquid drained that spread all over my body.
This horrible change impacted
my entire life. My connection with family friendship has been
interrupted to
silence. I wasn’t accepted any longer by my family. They rejected me.
My only
true friend is God. Only God is beside me and has never forsaken me.
Even if my
family and my friends forget me, even if I am rejected by them, there
is
someone, somewhere that loves me unconditionally. The days finished
with this
hope in my mind.
The
next day came to visit at me the
chief of the zoo who heard about me, and I decided to go with him. Now
I am
appreciated by the thousand of tourists who came to
visit
me. “The largest cockroach in the world” – this news circled all over
the world
from all types of mass media. I am famous. I have a shelter, food, and
everything I want to
survive.
If someone told me that I would become a cockroach, I wouldn’t believe
it. But
if someone told me that I would also become a tourist attraction I
would tell
him that he is out of his mind.
In my conclusion, if someone judges that you are useless
and you
can’t do anything, don’t give up. Try to see the positive side of your
life and,
with a “little help,” you’ll become someone appreciated and respected
by
others.
