that day will never be erased from my memory
By Yasmin | From : Brazil | School : Everett High SchoolI was in the park with my friends, and a group of American girls came in our way. We were talking in Portuguese, because we didn’t know English yet, and one girl yelled at us: “Go back to your country!” Then, one girl came behind me, and grabbed my hair. Just because I’m Brazilian. I felt sad but not surprised, because I already knew that living in another country would not be easy and that I would go through things like this. But that day will never be erased from my memory.
