When I received a letter telling me that I would attend
Holmes in September, I didn't want to go because I talked
to most of my fifth grade friends and some nf them weren't going to
the same school...

note also said that'my sister and I had to walkl Some time later we
received another letter saying we could ride the bus. W were ree

went to the cafeteria to find out which room I would go to.

lousy."

One of my friends said,"There are police all around the
school."(I didn't attend school the first day)

didn't mind being bused. On television they were showing buses having
rocks thrown at them, kids being
stabb~d
and fights.
