This week my class and I read a story called Africa Is My Home. It was brought to the world by my teacher, Ms. Edinger. It was poetic, but she is going to have to take away some of the poetry and inside thoughts to make the story completely factual.

I learned how to count in Mende which is an African language.

It goes like this:

One — e-ta
two — fe-le
three — sau-wa
four — na-ni
five — do-lu
six — we-ta
seven — waw-fe-la
eight — wai-ya-gba
nine — ta-u
ten — pu

I really like the story, and I hope it would encourage more people to learn about forced immigration.
