On her first day .she wore her new uniform with great pride .It consisted of a crisp white pinafore and a navy -blue blazer with a smart red emblem on it.She felt really good about herself because when she entered the school ground ,she saw all the other children dressed the same she was .The uniform gave her a sense of belonging .They started each day by singing hyms,which she also thoroughly enjoyed .

Podcast with Iryna .Review on the book '' Dying to be me" . part 2
This week we are continue to talk about chapter "Many religions ,many paths". Anita felt pressure from the first day of school because of her religion ."How come your family does't go to church on Sunday ?"her classmate Joseph wanted to know one day, after I'd been attending school for about a month. "Because we aren't Catholic .We are Hindu and we go to the temple on Monday evening ,"she said."You need to tell your parents to take you to church to pray to God every Sunday ,otherwise you won't get to the heaven when you die,"Joseph told her. "Are you sure about that ?" I asked ."Because if it were true , I'm sure my parents would know ." That afternoon when she got home from school , she decided to talk to her mother about what Joseph had said. "No , Beta ,"her mother said ."You don't have to wary about that. Just tell everyone at school that we're Hindus; and when you're a little older , you'll study our scriptures ,the Vedas. People from different places have different faiths ."Anita always true to prove there classmates she is just like them but have different religions
