Chen tried to sit up ,she couldn't.She tried to stretch her arms ,she couldn't.She tried to move her feet ,she couldn't.She wanted to scream but she could hardly breathe.Her arms and legs were strangely twisted ;and they seemed to be pinned under her.Her one good eye was trying to make some sense out of the rubble and debris that were all around her.She could not recall what had happened for her to be here,trapped under the broken down roof of her school.It was her school...wasn't it?She had woken up like any other day,got dressed and had gone to school...and after that....there seemed to be a gap in her memory.
The floor had shook and so had the walls...the windows had shook and so had the doors ...
before she had looked around for her friend,something had hit her and she could not breathe.
She had choked,she could hardly breathe now...
She was afraid..extremely afraid.
She began to cry...after a while when the tears had dried on her dirt streaked wounded face ..she began to think...she was hungry ,thirsty ,in excruciating pain...yet she thought of her mother and her little brother ...where would they be ? She hoped they were safe,she also hoped they were trying to find her.
She was scared but she tried to think of the things which would help her , she was sure there were people outside who were all right and who were looking for her.She knew her mother would not go home without her.She thought of last night 's dinner when she had teased her younger brother.
Chen remembered how she had been laughing at what the teacher had said in the morning.She thought how she would share this with her class....
She hoped she would be able to...she did not lose hope..and courage..i call her a hero.
