The document describes Meera's experience at a school market day where she sold raffle tickets. Meera was nervous to approach staff at first but most said yes to buying a $1 ticket. She sold many tickets at a dress shop and other shops. When it was time to go back to school, Meera helped at a bake sale stall and enjoyed giving customers change. After her shift, she bought food like sausage and oranges and balloons, concluding it was a fun day.

1. Market Day My
favourite part of market day was selling the raffles! At
the time I was selling them I was really petrified.
I went up to the staff and said, “Would you like buy a
Christmas raffle ticket for $1.00?”Most of my replies
were a great big “YES”. They wrote their number and
their name on the raffle slip.The next shop I went to
was a dress shop. The lady brought herself 4 tickets
and the others bought 2 tickets each. So my time went
on by snap!So did my tickets. Then I asked Mr Jones
for more. Finally it was 10.30 time to go back to
school.
We went back and had a snack.We set up our stalls. My
one was Bake sale. At least 5 girls stepped up to help.
Then when the marketing time came, we had a lot of
customers! I loved giving the change. When my shift
was finished I went to buy some food. Like sausage
sizzles, jelly oranges, popcorn and more!We bought
helium balloons as well.Man! What a day that was!
