III. Read the following passage and answer the questions below it:

Today was my first day at a non-segregated school. I was so afraid to go. I tried to pretend that I was ill, but it didn’t work. My mom told me to get dressed and she walked me to the bus stop. The bus ride was okay because the kids from my neighborhood were all black like me. We talked the while way to the school about how scared we were. None of us knew what to expect and none could offer any advice to the others. We just knew that it was going to be a mess and we should be together. When the bus pulled in front of the school building, everyone shivered. There were

a lot of people crowded around the entrance to the school. They were shouting awful t

things at me and the others from the bus. The whole time I was walking in, I was wondering

why they were so upset. After all, everyone deserves equality. I finally got inside of the school

building along with the others. It was really nice inside. Everything was so clean and smelled

good. I didn’t know where my classroom was so I asked a white boy standing beside the water

fountain. He looked right through me as if I didn’t even exist. I’m sure to him, I didn’t. I got

the hint that I wasn’t welcome there so I decided to find the classroom on my own. I walked down the

hallway with my eyes to the floor. When I FOUND MY CLASSROOM? I had to gather up enough strength to

walk inside. The day at school seemed so long. Lunch was just as awful as sitting in class. The lunchroom

was divided into whites and blacks. When it was time to go home, I walked outside to get back on the

bus. All the white kids outside were staring and whispering as I walked by. I got on the bus, took a seat

and cried. I didn’t know how many days like this I could survive.

Seeing my mom made my heart jump of joy. I ran off the bus and into her arms.
