I am a soldier

Chapter six - Tinga

I am Tinga.

I am the mother of our unit. I am the one who looks after the babies, and makes sure that when we return from a mission, everyone is ok.

I am the second oldest sister.

I am almost 10.

I am the one my brothers and sisters come to if they are hurt. I will try to make it better for them.

I am growing again. Soon I will be as big as Eva. I don't think anyone will be as big as Zack though.

I am strong-willed. I will not give in. I will not stand down. I am not afraid of what the Colonel will do.

I am brave. Brave enough to do that.

I am fast. I like to run, feel the wind on my face. I could run forever. Not a lot of the others can last as long as I can.

I am a big sister.

I am a sister soldier.
