Year 4 have been have been writing diary entries based on our text Other Words for Home. Take a look at what Ayaz has written…
Dear Diary,
Thinking about the future terrifies me. I wonder are things going to be the same for me and my brother Issa! He is my best friend in the whole world, the person who makes me laugh, and the person who makes me happy.
Walking home from a long day of school, I contemplated how life was going to unfold. My big brother looked at me with concern in his eyes. “What’s bothering you Jude?” he asked. I couldn’t find the right words to express my fears – fears of not fitting in, fears of never seeing my family again, fears of losing everything I hold dear.
Sitting by the calm, peaceful river, watching the clear, glittering waves, thoughts were spinning round in my head. Thoughts of how much I missed my brother and how much he was changing- just like our country. Issa held my hand and gave me a reassuring look. As the sun was setting, I found comfort in his presence. He whispered into my ear, “Everything will be ok.”
Contemplating the future and wondering what it may be, one thing I know. One thing is crystal clear.
My amazing brother will always be by my side, guiding me through. The future may be uncertain but Issa will always be a constant. As we walked home, the weight on my shoulders began to lift. We can get through this I thought. As long as we are together.
