At first, I didn't know what was happening to me, I started feeling sad, bored and empty. I told my mom about my feelings and she suggested that I should start helping others. I was confused because I didn't get how by helping others I could start feeling full and happy. So I thought I should give it a try. The next day, I went to a house called "Las niñas de Jesus".
This house is a catholic house for young women that were abandoned or taken by the DIF. When I arrived I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know how to talk to them or what to talk about. I started helping them to do their homework. I started going very often and really enjoying it.
One day, I met this little girl in the house of las niñas de Jesus, she started asking me about my parents, my brothers, and family. She was really amazed while asking these questions and I was really surprised because she seemed to enjoy every answer I gave her. I asked her if she knew her parents, she told me that she didn't. This literally broke my heart.
When I left that day, the girl asked me if I could visit her more often. I smiled and said yes. I was really happy that I could really help this little girl for real, but as my mother told me, that little girl help me and taught me more than I could ever imagine.
