I am Frank McCourt. I was born in the USA and now live in Ireland. This is the story of my life.
Sunday
It goes on and on
It was my confirmation into the catholic church today but I got very sick and got a bad nosebleed. It was because of my nosebleed that I wasn't able to get my collection which all the kids received after being confirmed. A few days after my nosebleed, the doctor visited me at home and told me I had typhoid fever. Oh god, not something wrong again. Because of how serious this fever is, I had to stay in the hospital and I was near death. But there is something positive about this, I met a girl, her name is Patricia. She is so nice and she showed me something called Shakespeare. Its not so positive because a few days later, she passed away. Why is everyone dying? After i return to health and got back home, I heard that because I missed to much of fifth grade I have to redo it instead of going up into sixth grade. Well that sucks. I am struggling a lot at school since I have a hard time walking. I hate the fact that Dad, spends all the money on alcohol but I love my mornings alone with him. I love when he tells me stories, when we talk and read the paper. I hate that we are living in such an unhealthy condition that it all makes us sick. I just want to be healthy and go to school.
