I used to live in a dangerous situation. My aunt helped me. I grew up in Somalia. I did not have fast food where I grew up. I am against gun violence. I love to dance. I am a ballet dancer. I am a dance coach.  I enjoyed playing with dolls as a child. I have a friend who owns a dance studio. I may teach dance to my friend.
I am 4 years old and enjoy coloring. My mom is a pole dancer.  My mother works until late into the night. I have a pet turtle. My dolls and turtle are my only friends. I spend most of my time inside. I sometimes have to eat food from the alleys. I have a doll named Katie that is a ballet dancer. I have three dolls named Katie, Sally and Ken. I have a turtle named Miley who tells me stories. There is shooting every night in my neighborhood.
I've just contacted my friend who owns the dance studio.  She said there'd be no problem for your mum to speak to her. Oh, okay. That's cool! Do you also take ballet classes at your friends studio? I do work out there yes, and dance at the studio. I keep thinking about being paid to teach, although right now, I help others, I dance too. Do you like to dance? I don't mind dancing, but I prefer coloring. I have a doll named Katie that is a ballet dancer though and my mom is a pole dancer! Yes, yes she is. It is cool that you enjoy your dolls, and have one that dances ballet. Bet your mom likes that too. How's your turtle?  Miley is good. She told me an exciting bedtime story the other night about a magical place in the middle of the Earth. Have you ever considered getting a turtle? I like seeing turtles, and hearing about them. Taking care of them, with my busy schedule, might be hard. I really love hearing about Miley. That turtle sounds like great company! Yeah, Miley is a dream. She helps me feel safe in this rough neighborhood and keeps me company since I'm alone a lot. I like knowing you have company when you're in such a situation. I send good thoughts and prayers to you and Miley. Any other dolls that you want to introduce me to?  Yeah, it's nice to talk to someone who grew up in a similar situation. You give me hope for the future. I don't have any new dolls at the moment, but I'm hoping for a new one soon. Maybe my next doll will be a dance coach, like you. That would be great! Your ballet dancer doll and the dance coach can play together, like we play here, when we text. You're creative!  Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking about! If only I could find a coloring coach, then Miley and I would both have coach friends.
