Sweat Shop Worker

If I were a sweatshop worker in Mexico making t-shirts, life would be very unfair. A typical day would be that I would get up in the early hours of the morning, probably before dawn, still tired from the hours I work the night before. I would then go to the sweatshop, making t-shirt after t-shirt for people I know will never have to experience what I am going through now. I am hungry but I must keep working harder. When I finally do get to eat it is very little food, I try to share with others who cannot afford much food, but even my food is scarce. Again I work, t-shirt after t-shirt for many hours. I do not get home until 2 o’clock in the morning so if I am lucky I will be able to have three hours of sleep.
