"Attention: There has been a change to your regularly planned schedule. As there are high chances of thunderstorms please stay in your current location. If you must move change out of your government supplied metal work clothes and into your thunderstorm clothes which are available to be bought at every workplace and school. Thank you and enjoy your day." I have heard that announcement a thousand times. I have always been stuck where I was at that very moment. Oh, wait I forgot to tell you who I am. I am Melanie Octavia Mers. Yes, my initials spell mom and no, I do not care. I am one of the many poor people in my country, The United Republic of Daniville. I do not have any nationalism or even patriotism unlike the rich citizens. The leaders of our country only care about the rich people. They have not done a single thing to help the growing number of people like me living in extreme poverty unless you count supplying everyone (even the rich) with clothes once a year. I don't. Most of the time I we don't have food. Most of the time when we have food we don't have enough food. I am constantly hungry. There is a hunger in my stomach I can't fill with any amount of food. Enough venting for now. I have to pay attention to my work. If I don't I might get fired. I am only sixteen bit if I don't work my parents and siblings might lose our home, not have enough food, have no electricity or water, or worse. My income has kept my family from dying. I work at the electricity power plant. It's a very low paying job, but with my limited education it's the best I can get. As I said before horrible things could happen this my family if I didn't have this job. Everyday I follow the same schedule:
- Wake Up: 7:00 am
- Get Temporary Tattoo Schedule: 7:01 am
- Shower/Dress: 7:02 am
- Eat: 7:15 am
- Brush Teeth/Hair: 7:30 am
- Go To Work: 7:35 am
- Work: 7:45 am
- Lunch: 12:00 pm
- Free Time: 1:00 pm
- Work: 2:00 pm
- Leave For Home: 5:00 pm
- Arrive At Home: 5:10 pm
- Rest And Relax: 5:11 pm
- Dinner: 6:00 pm
- Cleaning: 6:45 pm
- Hobby Time: 7:30 pm
- Change For Bed: 8:30 pm
- Brush Teeth/Hair: 8:35 pm
- Read In Bed: 8:40 pm
- Go To Sleep: 9:00 pm
This schedule will stay the same until I lose my job or turn eighteen as at eighteen I lose free time. If I lose my job work hours turn to education and searching for jobs. I also lose my free time as I already applied for work starting as soon as I turned thirteen. Most days blend together unless something happens.....
