Me And My Son Jaeden Made This Essay As Part Of His Journal Writing

(And I think this is a good discussion. Actually I can say this is not just the product of my child but we talk about it and I accept I made big contribution in this journal writing. Its hard to tell the children about war so I think parents should be careful in explaining about the things happening about the war so I worked with him to make it more parental rather than writing the real situation in Marawi City.) Here is the essay: My name is Jaeden Tyler, I am grade 5 in San Esteban South Central School and I live in San Esteban, northern part of the Philippines. I am so far away to Marawi City. In fact I don’t know about the place because I heard it is located in Mindanao. But now I know about Marawi City because I heard it from radio and television news. I heard this is on-going war between the military of our country against the terrorist group known as Maute group. They make war in that place and cause trouble to the people and community. Because they made some threats to the place our government responded through battle with them. It’s been days and months that the war is going on in Marawi City. Many lives have been sacrificed that include the lives of soldiers and people living there, that also include the lives of children like me. The people fled away to the said place so they should not be kill during the battle. Many house, buildings and trees and even rice fields are damaged because of the bombing. I consider myself as a lucky child because there is no war in our place. We are going to school from Monday to Friday and I can play during Saturday and Sunday. I wonder if the kids in Marawi City can play like me. I hope they have enough foods for their meals. I hope there is house for them to sleep. I hope there is no war in the Philippines.
