Sherry’s Story

Abstract

Zoey is dressed in her school uniform: Black skirt, white blouse, and shiny black heels. I elaborately braid her hair to stave off the nervousness enveloping her. To get to school, we walk around the corner and wait for our first busz (bus). We get off at the first stop, cross the street, and catch our second bus, getting off at the third stop up the hill. Her first day of school begins with a welcoming ceremony in the closed courtyard of her általános iskola, or public elementary school.
