I wanted to make Australia and my Wonderful wife and daughter proud. When I enlisted is was just over the height requirement of 168cm‚ therefore I was accepted to fight at Gallipoli.

Food‚ drinks‚ pens‚ batteries‚ and a couple flashlights. I went back to my room at the hospital where I felt safe‚ I did not know where else to go. I decided to go exploring around the hospital after I put the supplies in my room

My life before today was perfect September 25‚ 1776. I could go outside and play. I could put on my clothes without the big yellow star on the front of my jacket or shirt. Life was great until the Germans sent a letter for my mom to go to one of the concentration camps. I was so scared and I had no idea what we were going to do. Now we have to pack our bags and go somewhere to hide. I have no idea what my life is going to look like in a couple of days from now or even a year. It is the next day

No Fear of Death Chapter One: Escape The sound of running was all I could hear. I was running out of breath. My vision was hazy I saw people behind me falling over. I almost slipped over the muddy ground multiple times. The arrows were falling in flurries every few seconds. I was running beside mom‚ she looked more worn out than me. I was smaller than most‚ but I was also really fast. We were almost there. The forest. If we got there‚ we could get away without arrows flying at us. I looked over

As a young child I almost never heard my mother raise her voice to my father. They have been married for over twenty years now and I would consider all of them to be happy. She had gone to college to become a journalist and that’s where she met my father. The two fell in love and got married before graduation.
