  6. Shyima stood at the sink in the elegant kitchen of a fancy Southern California home. She was barely tall enough to reach the counter. Elbow-deep in soapy dishwater, she methodically washed the plates, scrubbing off bits of food and carefully rinsing them under the faucet. When she finished washing and drying, she stood on a chair to put the dishes away.

  7. Seems like an ordinary chore for a 12-year-old girl, right? But washing dishes was not just an ordinary chore for Shyima, something she did before watching TV or doing her homework. It was one of an endless series of chores she did all day long, every day of the year. Shyima was a modern-day slave.

  9. More than a decade ago, 10-year-old Shyima Hall was brought to Southern California by an affluent Egyptian couple who forced her to sleep in a cold garage at night and spend her days working as a maid. For nearly two years, Hall ironed clothes, washed dishes and handled other domestic chores until authorities freed her. On Thursday, she met with officials again but this time to proudly take the oath of allegiance to America as a newly minted U.S. citizen -- a key step on her path to becoming a police officer or immigration agent to help other victims of human trafficking. Published December 15, 2011, Associated Press Journal Write: How does your life contrast to Shyima Hall’s life when she was your age?
