I am Sinneh N. Sesay, I am 17 years oldI fought during the ten years war in my country. it was not my wish, I was forced, drugged and I was given gun. I didn't know what I was doing and i have no option. Either i do it and live or don't and die. see now they have destroy my future for something i do not deserve. i did not live my child hood life and i wonder if i can ever live it. I’m not even sure of what I’m going to be in the future. my future is lost. My future is the street. Everyone discriminate against me. They do not allow their children to come closer to me as they call me names like thief, trouble maker, Rebel. i just don't know how to express the way I feel.Because i have to survive i go out early in the morning to carry heavy loads on my heads for market women from there houses to the market then they paid me. Mid day i go to the mini-restaurant and wash dishes, clean up their floor then i get food to eat. Late in the evening i carry loads on my head again to their houses. i have been use as cargo train to carry food stuff for money. Oh how i wish i can discover my families who I’m not sure are alive or dead. i don't even know here to find them. I’m calling the whole world to words me and my colleagues in street. I want to be a teacher in the future. Help make me a better future
