Life of rachel part 1

When I started school in the USA I didn't have friends but after a while I started to make friends.
When I was at home I was abused. I was hit in the face if I didn't do my homework right. I got hit punched verbally abused and sexully abused.
Some times when I was younger I thought my life in the USA would be different then my life in the orphanage. Some of it was different just the abuse started up after I got here.

When I was in the orphanage I was abused there as well. When you heard the alarm going off that meant someone was going to be sexully abused then after that every body was abused as well. Now don't get me wrong I love USA and I still love Ireland even with every thing that has happen to me there.

9 years old and over seas

When I was adopted I was 9 years old and that's when I came over seas to the USA. When I got here I didn't know any English and for me it took a long time to learn it. Then it was time to go to school and I made new friends and I had a great time at school. My grandad would pick me up after school and we would do my home work before we did any thing. 

The beginning of rachel

My name is rachel. I was born and raised in Ireland till I was 9 years old. I  was adopted and I came to the USA now I live in Marion, Va. My child hood was not good when I was living in Ireland I was in a orphan and they didn't treat me well most of the time I didn't even have food to eat. When I got out of there and came to the USA I was 9 years old. When I got here I started to school, making some friends. At that point my adopted mom and dad were really great with me but then the abuse started. If I looked a certain way I would get a fist in the face. I would tell my teachers about it they didn't be lived it cause they knew my parents were high up in the community and they could get people on there side and make me a lier so no one would belive me.
