I Was Locked Up In My School Yoelki Amador from Cuba Staff Photo After a while, I realized the teacher wasn't coming back because the school was closed with me inside. I won't forget that day. It happened when I was a little boy. I was six years old and I was studying in an elementary school. We used to finish the class at 12:30 p.m. That day when we were getting in a line to leave school, my best friend and I were pushing our classmates. We were really having fun, but the teacher saw us and said, "Go to the end of the line and calm down. If you don't, I'll call your parents, okay?" I thought she meant to sit down and wait for her and then I could go home. After a while, I realized the teacher wasn't coming back because the school was closed with me inside. I was afraid and really didn't know what to do, but that wasn't the problem. The problem was my father. He was looking for me around the school and at all my friends' houses. He couldn't find me because he didn't have any idea where I was. Finally, my dad found me because one of my friends who saw me sitting in the classroom told my father about that. I can only say that from that day on I did not have any problems.   More difficult situations: Sad Memories of El Salvador | Consequences of War in Nicaragua | I am a Person Blessed by God | An Explosion in a Building | I Lost My Way in London Return to: Difficult Situations | Issue 18 | Home Page TOPICS Online Magazine - ©1997-2007 - Sandy and Thomas Peters - topics.mag@gmail.com
