My Feelings

Marie (Age 8)

My Feelings

I feel scared when I am in the dark.

I feel happy when someone is nice to me.

I feel tired when I run.

I feel brave when I have a blood test.

I feel sad when someone is hurt.

I feel shy when a stranger talks to me.

I feel mad when someone teases me.

I feel silly when someone talks funny.

My name is Marie. I am 8 years old. I am on the ketogenic diet. I had to fast in the hospital. I did not mind that because I wanted to get off my meds.

I love to play with my friends and I try to be nice to my friends too. I don’t kick or hit kids at school like I used to. My room number at school is 108. School is fun. I love math and gym. I love the computer, but we do not have one now. I love to play bingo, but we always lose at bingo.
