Roman Society: Slaves

I am a Roman Slave, my name is Julius. My parents died and I do not have money so I had no other choice but to become a slave. My owners have been kind to me as I am educated they have given me the task of teaching the young. When I am not teaching my owners allow to me to go to the forum and do trivial tasks for shop owners in exchange for money. While my masters say when I have taught their young everything I know I will have earned my freedom I will forever be indebted to them. I hope in doing tasks for shop owners that I will one day be able to save up enough money to repay my owners and open my own school where the wealthy will pay to have me educate their young.
