my childhood....

February 12^th of 1895

I was born in this happy day, in a family that didn’t have all, but had enough to survive. I was born in Prussia, a big kingdom that after some years will be added to the biggest Germany Empire. In these days, I just remember the hot blanket that was at least my best friend of my first years of life.

In one casual day, I was making my homeworks to the school, when someone knock on the door. He was a very strong man, dressed with a green uniform. He started to talk with my mom, I was wondering what was happened. After 30 minutes of talking my mom started to cry, so I couldn’t wait more and began to help her. Then she told me that my country need me, and they were taking kids of 14 to 19 years to prepare them for a very big conflict.
