Year 6/28 – last part

Our religious principles respect education at the highest level. The priority is obedience to teachers. That's why I'm starting school in a suit and tie. From now on, my parents are placing a great deal of importance on me doing my homework after school. Our wonderful mother, who is now training to be a beautician, is incredibly talented artistically. She teaches us calligraphy, explaining: When you do something, you must do it as well and as beautifully as you can, so that the other person understands how much you respect them. There are no excuses. And the funniest thing: ink erasers and rubber erasers are forbidden. Concentration and neat execution are instilled in us and cultivated. Even today. But I notice one thing... Something is not right with us. I thought everyone lived in a flat where mould gathered in winter and there was a rat infestation... This intensifies more in the 7th year of life, tomorrow...
