My Religion - Original Writing

For my original writing I have decided to write about a time in my

life where I had to make a difficult decision which would have had

completed consequences for me.

Mid September 1996 first day of high school like every new student I

was extremely nervous as this was my first time I been somewhere that

I didn’t know anyone. As I entered the main entrance there was havoc

every as all new pupils where ask to go into the assembly hall to be

allotted to they appropriate form groups. Once I was allocated to my

form group I instantly realised that there were no Muslims in my class

and that most if not all Christians.

During the first few months at high school I found it very hard to

interact with the other pupils as they already knew each other, but

once I felt comfortable I opened up quite easily. It now somewhere

after Christmas time if my memory is right and it coming towards the

holy month of Ramadan where all Muslims who are capable to fast should

participate in a month where we are not allowed to eat or drink during

day time hours.

The first couple of fast I kept I found really difficult as other

pupils teased me as they were having they snacks on they break and

diner. One time as I was sitting in the library during lunch hour a

couple of my mates who were Christians came over just to see what I

was doing. I explained to them that I didn’t want to sit in the diner

as other were eating they food it just made me hungry. As a joke at

first one of the lads pulled out a crisp packet from his jacket and

asked me to take some. I told him that I was fasting and I couldn’t

have anything to eat until sunset. He then kept on asking me several

times to take some crisp I just kept on answering with the same replay
