Diary of a Jew
Belonging of Anne Lynndia
Day 1
Hello, my name is Anne Lynndia. This is my first journal ever and I want it to be the best. I go to a public school where they don't allow me to bring you so you'll have to wait until after.
I have had this book a long time now, but never really had reason to use it. But today something strange happened to me. Two boys came over to me. They said mean things to me that I really don't understand. I asked them why they were being so mean and one said, "'Cause you're a smelly old Jew. Who needs Jews? They're just a waste of space." . The other boy nodded in agreement. Tears filled my eyes. I didn't know what to think of what they had said. Why all of a sudden they started to pick on me? They were always nice before. And them making fun of my religion, was that something really bad or not really that big of a deal. I think that I cried more out of confusion than distress.
But I'm not going to tell anyone what happened today, not even mum, and I tell her everything. I really don't want her to be worried how I am treated. It was just one time anyways.
Yours truly,
Anne Lynndia
