The Book of
Me by Bayoan Ware

Summer/2000
One day, a boy was born in Ingalls Hospital.
When the doctor gave the baby to the father he had hit him
and the baby was crying. When the baby was given to the mother,
he stopped crying. That baby boy was me.
When I went to preschool, which was
Step By Step, I met Nancy. Nancy was a nice lady who helped
take care of me.
I later on went to Calvary Academy for
preschool. While in preschool, someone was passing me with
his lunch. I tripped him and all of his food fell on the floor.
Later, when I went to school, I met
one of my best friends. When he left, I was sad, but I met
some new best friends. Last year was my last year at that
school.
Over the summer I moved to Olympia Fields.
I was happy because I moved closer to one of my friends. And
now I am in a program for getting ahead.
