    My first reading assignment in English class was The Tale of Two Cities; which was even hard for classmates to understand. I read and read and read the book. To understand one page, sometimes I spent hour. After school, the rest of my day was devoted to homework. I had a hard time and sometimes I wanted to go back to Korea. However, everyone in my school was kind and understanding, so most of the time they were patient with me until I finished my sentences and they answered my questions until I totally understood.

It started when I saw a student standing and looking at me well, I think he’s not a normal student who’s have freedom to play, to talk to someone, to eat during recess time or not even to study during examination days. Because me, yes I am; only one in the school can see him standing and staring at me. At the first place I thought everybody can see him. So I’m fearless to go near to him or even to talk to him. Though he didn’t talk back to me I still keep on asking him why does he crying. But later on I caught some people’s attention on why am I talking alone. I remembered how they talked, stared, teased and laughed at me saying: “That young girl is talking alone look!” I’ve wondered at that very moment saying to myself, “Every second had been done, is it all an imagination or is it the moment of truth?” The young boy never visited me again.

    Life in fifth grade at Susie E. Tolbert was very challenging, and to make it tougher I didn’t have very many friends. I was very shy and scared to go talk to people to make friends. At lunch one day a girl came to talk to me, and I quickly gathered my things and sprinted out of the cafeteria! The ones who were my friends were not true, and were their only there because of my materialistic things. I was very introverted and scared to go talk to people, and make new friends. In Language Arts, Paideia Seminars were my least favorite because I would always get zeros, I would never talk in the discussion and teachers never pushed me to succeed. My teachers didn’t really care about me either; they never urged me to answer questions and left me alone to be that one lonely kid. Going to James Weldon Johnson Middle School was about to be the biggest challenge in my life, and I still wouldn’t have any friends to help me through the struggle.…
