Every day during the harvest I get up before the sun rises. With my
family, I travel to the fields. We might pick strawberries one week
and apples the next. Squatting down in the field all day long makes
my back and knees ache. If it's hot, my skin burns. When it rains, I
have no choice but to get wet. While all my friends are at school,
I'm stuck out here. When I come back, I'm far behind and some times I
feel like I want to give up. I fight with my parents about working,
but if I didn't we wouldn't have enough money to get by. I wish we
could get paid more, work in safer conditions or just get out.
