1. The Story of Carol
I arrived from Jamaica when I was 7 years old and my
mother enrolled me in first grade. Though the work wasn't
hard, I had a difficult time adjusting. Even though I spoke
English, there were many ways of saying and doing things.
One time we had a writing assignment and I make a
mistake and wanted to use an eraser to correct it. Not
knowing the word for eraser, I used the Jamaican term and
asked for a rubber . No one responded to me so I asked
for a rubber again, and again until I was finally ignored.
Finally I took an eraser (rubber) from a student’s desk and
he got upset and my teacher scolded me. I learned the
word when the teacher asked me to erased the board. As
a result, she thought I was slow and she started to treat me
differently.
