My escape story

This in my escape story if I was a refugee.

                                                            My Escape Story
 When I was four years old I had to leave my country, my name is Isabella and this is my story.

 One dark and stormy night my family and I were sleeping. I suddenly heard people screaming and I woke up. First I looked outside and saw lots of houses burning down and also a lot of people running and a few people falling. I ran to my parents room and woke them up, my parents were confused but then they heard a scream and they grabbed some bags. I went to my room and grabbed my favourite toy teddy and ran back to my parents room.

 After a while my parents finally finished packing and we ran outside and we hopped onto a boat and left, but some people were left behind.

While we were sailing through the sea my mum fell into the ocean, I started to cry. After a while I stopped crying and fell asleep, at night I heard some screaming so I got out of bed and opened the door and saw… my dad was lying on the floor and I started to sob.

 Finally, I saw a camp-like place and everyone went there so I followed and the camp was called a refugee camp for refugees.

After two years I was allowed to go to a new country I checked the paper someone gave me, I looked at it for a bit and saw it said New Zealand on it but I didn’t understand so I went to someone and asked them where and what New Zealand in the said it was a small country by Australia I understood and walked away, I knew what Australia was because one of my grandparents were from there so I went on this bigger boat but 1 times bigger than the other boat.

 After a few more people went on the boat it was a fantastic ride and I finally got to New Zealand and I was happy but at the same time sad because my parents passed away but I remembered that I grabbed my teddy so I grabbed one of the bags and looked inside and I saw my teddy bear. We all finally got to New Zealand and I got a new family.

Where is the Philippines?  South Asia\Asia

What does their flag mean? The white triangle means freedom, the blue stripe means peace, the red stripe means bravery. The stars stand for the three areas in the Philippines. One of the areas is Luzon and the second one is Visayas and the last one is Mindanao. The sun stands for togetherness in all of the islands.
