Last Monday I was just coming back from Mr. Dignam’s hedge
school it was soooo boring. We sat on stones in front of the hidden behind a big
ditch. We had to do our work on our knees. Mr Dignam school is an outside school
it is summer time, and last Sunday before the day I left. It was horrible weather,
our copies kept on blowing away and the whole place was all muddy. On Saturday a
prodesent guy saw our fire and he came through our door at the other side of
the ditch and started looking for us but we all hid in a hiding spot and he
didn’t see us. Well except for Bill. He got taken away. I learn mostly maths
and English. All of my other brothers and sisters are all at home because my
parents can’t afford to pay for them as well. We don’t have much land and life
is very hard. I have four brothers and six sisters my brothers also learn maths
and English. My sisters learn Latin, Greek and writing. My mom said she is soon
going to send me to a prodasent school. I used to have a different teacher
called Mr. de Jong he went to a different village because no one was able to
pay him or give him any food.
“Steve dad wants you to help him with the cattle”.
“Ok mother”. Well I have to go. Bye
