First day at school

At last I'm going to school! Wiht the help of Si, i drag a uslessly wheeled huge, heavy bag the rocky, sandy, crevice and sewer filled paths to the Carolyn Miller School. (I promise to post links to more info for those who don't already know about it's history) Already the kids are in class, I see them through the open doors that lead off from the courtyard; dressed in orange and black uniforms, they lounge and concentrate at thier squashed tiny desks, three bums to a bench. I present my gifts of school supplies to Mr Ballah the principal. He is moved and grateful, and so am I - just to be here. I say that friends and family have helped to donate, instead of giving and receiving xmas gifts and some friends gave a little more, I choke to think of my sister Ashliegh pushing 40 quid into my hands with no prompting from me, she would be in tears to see the joy of a Principal with little or no resources welling up at the sight of a plastic work folder. I hav to continue my day tomorrow - time's up!
