A day in the life of a child in a informal settlement

Last night I had to study under the lamppost  because I don’t have a light in my shack.It started drizzling so I had to walk back home.As I got home everything was wet.I decided to go to bed but then I heard a loud party going on and I could not go to bed.My mom was so mad because everything was so wet. In the morning I had to get ready for school but I realized my clothes are sopping wet so I just had to wear them and go to school.Before I left I asked my mom is there any breakfast and my mom said no we don’t have any food so I went to school starving.I had to walk 2km to walk to get to school. .I got to school and I was ready for work but there was only ten textbooks so we had to share.I was starving and I could not focus.At brake they gave us some lunch and I was so happy.After school I was walking home and then I got bullied the pushed me down to the ground and said I am so poor and they started laughing then I ran away sobbing.i got home and shouted to my mom can’t you ...

The Singing Inspector

There was one horrible day when Mr R came.He was our music teacher he was very rude.He looked like a crazy and weird man.Everyone in the class dislikes him.He wears thick stockings like a weird hunting man.He is not a nice teacher at all,let me tell you about him. We had to sing doh ray me fah and tata tete. He called out Benny and I first up to sing.We did not know any songs to sing.I sang the song Pretty Polly. I sang in a low Voice and Benny sang in a high pitched voice. I wanted to laugh but i was to frightend. Mr R shouted at us and called us stupid.He broke all of our Hearts i hope one day he Will get taught a lesson.
