Writing assignment for RAFT
Role: ESL student to self in the format of a diary.

Hola Diary,
It's me again. What a day I had! First, I got on the wrong bus because I didn't know where VIA was or if that was where I needed to go. When I finally made it to school, I was relieved to see something familiar. I felt more than ready to begin my day. The trouble didn't stop there. Whenever the teacher called on me, the other students laughed at the way I pronounced words. It makes me feel like not trying but I know my parents expect me to learn English so I can have a better life than they have. At lunch, I couldn't understand what the lunch lady was saying and the line was backing up because of me. I ended up bursting into tears and running from the cafetaria, so I didn't get to eat. By the afternoon, I was tired, hungry, and frustrated. Luckily, I have my favorite teacher in the afternoon. She is always patient with me and treats everyone equally. No one laughs at me in her class and I always want to try my best for her. Today she told me I was doing so well that she is giving me more challenging work to do. I promise I will work very hard for her and for myself. Now that I know what VIA is (thanks to my teacher) I was able to get home without any trouble. It feels like I always go through so many emotions every day and it leaves me feeling exhausted. But I will keep trying so I can get better at English and get a good job one day. Until tomorrow.......
