My name is Fatima Mera. I was born In 1995 In Gazipur Singer Dhing at 11:42 PM. I am currently 45 years old and I am a female. I have 2 sons and they are twins and both 12 years old and they sell pop corn on the streets of Gazipur. I always think about them especially when they don’t get home on time because that makes me think they got knocked down by a car. I have been working in a garments factory since I was 18 years old in 2013 and I still work there. I don’t get paid a lot of money but it is enough to keep me and my family running so that we can survive.
Bangladesh now has 124,186,249 people in it and Bangladesh is a very small country compared to all the other countries which are much bigger than this country. So in that case, Bangladesh isan over populated country because there are loads of people that are from foreign countries. Bangladesh was a very clean place in 1998 and now it is a very dirty place because all the factories that has been made over the last 27 years.
Now it is 6:00 AM in the morning and I just got up and I remember my dad saying early night and early shine. I need to get ready to go to the factory so I can clock in a bit early so that I can get a little bit more money to keep my family running. I normally start my shift at 8:30 AM and I leave my house at 6:30 because it takes me 2 hours to get to the factory because I can’t afford to pay for a CNG or a taxi. Well, I could but then that would be all my money and I would not be able to afford to put food on the table for my family.
Yesterday, 5 workers that had been working here the longest were entered into a prize draw to select a manager for the garments factory I currently work at. There was a drum roll and I could not believe it I was the new garments factory manager but even better I won 1 billion BDT (1,000,000,000 BDT). It was unbelievable I just could not wait to tell my family the news and with that money I was going to make a garments factory all in one day by giving the workers a lot of money so that would be 1 million BDT gone and I would leave me with nine hundred and ninety nine million (999,000,000 BDT). I also planned to make a mansion with a huge swimming pool because in the future I want to be a professional swimmer and that will be made in one day as well which will cost me 5 million and that will leave me with nine hundred and ninety four million (994,000,000 BDT). Then my boss told me my new job which was to watch every one doing their jobs. As time went on and on it turned dawn and my shift was over and in my head I was planning on when I can tell my boss I am retiring. Then I found the perfect time to say it and that was 5 minutes after my shift was over. So I slowly approached my boss and I said I am retiring and my boss said ” It has been a pleasure having you work at my factory and I wish you luck for the future”. So for the first time ever I got a taxi home and told my family the good news.
After that day my garments factory was up and running and I had an income of ten million (10,000,000 BDT) per day. My mansion was built with everything new inside and with the other money I made 50 halls in each country and city where poor people can have food, a shelter above their head, medicine if they need it, a bed with a nice warm blanket and ten thousand (10,000BDT) per day so that they can get themselves together and be like me one day.
Now am the president of Bangladesh I demanded to have workers to clean the water, road, add a drain system, be echo friendly, plant trees, make more bridges, make sure there is no hartels, make traffic lights which people must obey or they will be fined five hundred (500BDT), make a recycling scheme and now I have made this country a better place. I stand up straight and solute you and my fellow soldiers who fought for freedom and those who have made our county a better place.
I speak loud and clear for you and it has been an honor to be your president.
Yours truly,
