The teacher saw us, searched my bag.
And my mum, she was like very mad at me.
So I had to go to stay with my sister.
So I was kicked out of school for what was supposed to be two weeks.
But I stayed out of school for three months.
I had stayed with my sister.
Her husband was very religious.
Because from that time, I've never done it again.
I told the teacher that I can't go back.
I want to go to a new school to start over in a good way.
Now, this new school had art as a lesson.
Over and over, I would go to the art room window and then saw them using eggshells in mosaic.
I loved what they were doing.
After seeing that, I would go back home, collect textiles from the riverside, and start doing mosaic over and over.
I took the artwork that I did to that teacher, and then to my surprise, she loved it so much.
Art helps me a lot to understand things.
Everything else that's not concerned with art, I'm not doing.
