That's My Story

My name is Isabel. A few years ago my dad had a heart attack at work and passed away. His sudden death changed our lives forever. My mom had no job and no marketable skills either. We had some money saved up from when my dad had been working.

My name is Ileana. My dad used to work at a company that made printers. He lost his job when the company went bankrupt. He had been working there since graduating from college. He spent 17 years there. It was the only job he ever had. He applied for similar jobs but nobody would hire him He ended up getting depressed. He sat around in the living room all day watching TV. One day I discovered the dark secret he was hiding in the basement.

My name is Oliver. I’m in tenth grade. This is my best friend Seb. He transferred to our school this year. He’s an introvert like me. But recently I found out his huge secret! That my best friend is actually a Billionaire!

My grandfather passed away last year. He was a very successful realtor. He specialised in expensive properties. That’s how he kept building his fortune year after year. He became one of the richest people in the country.

Hi everyone. Unfortunately, I can’t tell you my name. Some of you might know me. It wouldn’t bother me if you figured out who I am. But I wouldn’t want you to find out who my boyfriend is.

My name is Giselle. I’m 16. My sister Dawn is three years older than me. We used to get along really well. Now we don’t speak to each other unless we have to. Let me tell you what happened.

My name is Ellie. If you want to be one of the popular girls at school, please watch my story till the end. If you already are one of those popular girls, I suggest you stop watching now because you probably won’t like what I’m about to say.

Hi my name is Ethan, like most people I lived with my parents while in high school, but once I graduated my Dad told me that I had to either get a job and start bringing in money, or I had to find another place to live! My plan was to go to college and get a degree to be able to get a great job further down the line, but now this wasn't possible I had to drop out of college. Then what happened next you won't believe.

Like everyone else, I love my mom. But, after what I’ve learned about her, I started seeing her in a different light. My mom should’ve been honest with us. I’ll tell you the whole story from the beginning. Let’s see if you think I’m right. We’d always been a happy family. For many years my mom owned and managed a beauty salon. She loved her job so much. My dad is a wedding photographer. His job is to capture newlyweds during their most romantic moments. I love taking pictures, too. The photos I used to post on my Instagram would get tons of likes.

My name is Sky. I’m 17. I’ve never had to pay to fly somewhere on a plane. And I’ll never have to. I can fly to any place in the world for free. How am I able to do that? You will find out when you hear my story. When my mom was pregnant with me, my parents were living in Africa because my dad was working there. My mom wanted to give birth in her home country. She decided to go back home a month before her due date. My dad would take some time off from work and join her there two weeks later. You might not know this but the airline companies have a rule. You can’t get on a plane if you’re over 36 weeks pregnant. My mom 35 weeks, or 8 months pregnant at the time, so she was able to get on her flight without any issues.
