MY LEAVING DAY

In June 1994 Paul Meryon and his sister Shona left Coll to go and live in Fife

When I woke up in the morning I was very excited. I got dressed. I had my breakfast but when I was told that I was going to school I thought we weren't going. I only stayed at school for the morning, then my Mum picked me up so that I could get on the boat. On the boat I had nothing to do so I had lunch and played around.

After the summer holidays I started a new school. It is smaller than Coll school but has more people and the toilets are outside. At first I didn't like the school but I had to go because all the other schools arc too big for me so I really had to go. My best friend is Ben.My teacher is called Mrs Brady and my work is easy.
