“When I wake up I’m still tired because we have to get up so early for school. I have to get up at 5:00 so I can catch the bus. The bus gets me to school at 8:30 and I’m hungry. I go to the cafeteria and eat cereal. I go to class until 3:30 and then ride the bus home. I have homework every day except Friday. When I get home I get ready for NAAF after school program. I change into regular clothes and the NAAF van picks me up. When I grow up I want to be a teacher and help kids in school.”– Tia
