My culture also played a big role in how others viewed me.
They acted like I was from a different world just because I had different traditions and customs.
Umm... no... it's food from where I am from.
Eww!!! What are you eating? Is that bug food, it looks nasty?
But no matter what they said or thought of me, I would never let go of my religion and my culture. I was always proud of who I was created to be and I liked being different than everyone.
I had gotten used to my life in that school and I loved it until one day... everything had changed.
NOOOOOO!!!!!
I'm sorry Maya, I know you want to stay with your friends but you will be going to the private school where I teach.
I desperately did not want to go to my mom's school. I had gotten so attached to the friends I made over the years and I knew they were all going to the same school without me.
I dont want to go to a different school! I'm going to miss all my friends and it's going to ruin everything. :(
I wasn't excited about this new school at all. I knew it was an Islamic school which meant it must be super strict and they also had a uniform, unlike my old school. The worst part was missing all my friends and knowing I probably was never going to see them again.
THIS IS WHEN LIFE TAUGHT ME AN IMPORTANT LESSON
