Hi, my name is Elena Sanchez and I'm a slave. I couldn't write or read but i did now how to talk and work. I couldn't write or read because my master thought it would make me smarter and help me escape from him. Everyday, I had to wake up early in the morning to feed the master's kids and work. I really didn't know how to spend my time. I couldn't write or read. I tried to learn how to write once but my master caught and beat me. That was the last time I tried to write. I could try again but I'm afraid I could be beaten my master.
