Willow's School reflections

Dear friends,

Things are very different here. The Dominica kids have to do praying before school starts. The first day they did their prayers it almost made me laugh because they say, “Good Lord, please make us be good children!” Kids get whipped with books when they are not being good. You are allowed to go into the streets at lunch to buy food at the stores.

I made four friends the first day of school. I call one of my friends “Carrot” because his hair looks like a carrot with braids. Kids are very nice. One lighter skin girl is teasing me for being white. She whispered to her friends and I could tell it was about me. I wish I could go back home but I also wish I could stay right here.
