My Escaping story

When i was 7 years old I had to move country’s. My name is Tama I have one sister and no brothers and I live with her and my mum and dad and this is my story of how i left my country to a New zealand. It was a dark stormy night when i could hear people outside with guns and grenades i ran to my mum and told her about it and she said ‘ there is a war quick hide! With scared and frighten emotions i ran with my sister and hid in my cupboard and stayed there with mum, sister and dad until there was a knock on the door we ignored it and stayed hiding until there was bombs setting of around our neibor hood so we started to pack up everything we could carry with us and i wanted to bring my mini basketball hoop but mum and dad said no. so instead i brung my basketball that came with the hoop and a teddy bear. We brung a lot of clothes and went on a journey to find a new country. We didn’t want to take the car because we didn’t want to look suspicious we ran out our street and found ourselves with some other people that live down our street it was a mother and her own son. They came with us and we went with them and we all went to find a new country. We walked for several hours until we found the government house. We had ask told the government what had happened and they had told us we were force to leave our country to a refugee camp then I ask mum ‘what is a refugee camp mum? Then she said ‘ its a place for people who dont have a country or a home to stay or live in” so we had to walk to the camp and when we got there… When we got there at the front gate were two guards with big machine gun making sure that no one will try to escape and there was a lot of family’s there i felt so sad for them and so did my sister. Our family stayed with the other family that came with us but we slept in different tents. One year has gone past still at the refugee camp no country has wanted any of us mum, dad and my sister a getting sick until one day on thursday one country called new zealand and gave us a offer for us refugees to live in mum and dad have hurd about thins country ans said that this country has had no wars, bombs or anything else, i felt excited about moving to that country but i was going to miss my family that lived there and my friend’s. We had started traviling on saturday by going in small groups and we got to go in vans and got on to boats sadly we couldn’t go by plane so it took us 12 hours to get to new zealand but when we went got there it was beautiful no wars and the rivers and beaches were even more beautiful. So after that we lived there for the rest of our life.
