  Dear Diary:

                I hate the idea of being with Rossa, I don't like her and I don't like working in the candy store. All this because I stole some few things, but luckily I am not in a prison, well not at all. I am sure this lesson will help me not to steal anymore, and that reminds me something. Today a little girl came to ask me for some tissue papers and when I went to the back I could see through a mirror that she took some chocolates and when she was leaving she didn't pay for them. And I didn't say anything, I was imagining the way she would feel. After that I felt disappointed because I started to remember some moments I had with my uncle and unfortunately he isn't here anymore, he is in prison. Definitely I didn't want the girl finish like my uncle so I decided to put some notes in the chocolate bars she stole so if she comes back, she would stop doing those things. All those things make me reflect; why I did those terrible things? If I hadn't stolen that day I wouldn't be here suffering, with a woman I don't know, working all day in the job I don't want. I wish all this finishes one day.
