Setting an alarm I went to bed early yesterday night and woke up at 6 in the morning. For a change I did not have to stitch my tattered uniform or press my ragged clothes. I don't have to be anxious about my late school fees. I need not have to worry about the time and scolding I would receive from our principal for going to school late, the time I spent in stitching my old rags.

I don't have to fret about the pending bills my mother has to pay during the month or the late night shifts that she would take up only to fill the dishes...
