TEARS OF SORROW
I was so excited that I made it to go at a boys school which was a well known day school in the country . It was also called a School of excellency. I was expecting to receive better things from Grandfather so that I could fit in with rich kids at school. He bought a school uniform for me then told me to go at school . I was puzzled , how can one go to school without books? I told his wife that I needed exercise books. She gave me one and a half dollar , it wasn't enough for me to buy eight hardcover books. I could only afford to get two 40 pages thick books and two 80 pages thick books. It became difficult for me to submit my school assignments because I was using each book for two subjects . Classmates made funny of my books. They used to call my books " News Papers" because of their thickness, most of the time the class monitor would stand in front of the class only to ask who the owner of news papers( my books) was. I would cry until I fell asleep. Going to school became a challenge, I couldn't feel the importance of being alive anymore.
Home was really far from my school such that I had to start walking at 5am in a small road through the bushes, just walking was stressing , I would reach at school late after 7:30am. Teachers would wipe and punish me for reporting late. Classmates never stopped bullying me and this time it was about me going to school with grasses on my head and all over my Jersey because of a thick road with full of long grasses covering the road and after knocking off I would beg for free transport . Since it was late for me to walk through the bushes, I was knocking off at 6pm.
This circumstance made me to miss granny who spent every single coin for my needs.
My dead mother please plead for my soul!
Dad where are you? Who did I offend for me to go through this pain! I would cry myself to sleep.
