Do you Have to be Irish?
It was my favorite holiday, St. Patrick’s Day! I loved going to school wearing all green and being served green bagels for lunch. It may sound weird but I loved St. Patrick’s Day! so, I walked into school with a smile on my face and my favorite green t-shirt. Everyone was in green, too. At lunch, we all sat down and my friends started talking about who is Irish and who isn’t Irish. I admitted I wasn’t Irish and yo my surprise, they gave me faces of disgust. They walked away to another table and started to laugh. We were in the fourth grade, how immature! I sat there lonely and miserable on my favorite holiday until a red haired girl came over. She looked like she was about to spit in my face because she was Irish and I wasn’t. But, instead, she sat down and said “I’m not Irish either,”.
