Sophie finally turned eighteen years old. She went to a school that spoke French but at the same time they had class that teaches her how to speak English. She didn’t like the school because she thought that the school was just like Haiti’s school. She always said if it was for that school she would not have been speaking English. For the pass six years her mother had thought her how to say the words in English. After Sophie was done with high school her mother wanted her to go to college and be a doctor but Sophie wanted to learn something, she wanted to be a secretary. During the summer everything changed for Sophie. Her mother and she moved to a better area, next to her mother’s boyfriend. She was able to have a boyfriend now since she was eighteen. There was a neighbor of hers that always use to look at her every time he saw her. She was falling for all the attention that the boy was giving her but little did she know he wasn’t a boy he was a man that was the same age as her mother. She started hanging out with him every time her mother left the house. One night Sophie finally got caught by her mother.Her mother wanted her to stay a virgin till she got married. When she got caught her mom sends her to her room and tested to see if she was a virgin or not. Her mother tested her probably every day until one day she decided to take her own virginity, when her mom found out she wasn’t a virgin she kick her out of the house. Since than Sophie went to her boyfriend’s house got married and had baby months later.

i like this quote because it reminds me very much of my family. in fact those pages reminds me of my family and specialy my mother. Sophie's mother of my mother becauuse certain things that she would tell Sophie my mother would tell me. For example this quote would be something that my mother would say if she thinks that im lying about a question that she would ask me.
