My New Story~Part 2

Ch.2

Dear Diary,

I can't believe what happened last night. They denied me my pursuit of happiness. They denied Penelope (my new Christian friend who is also my roommate) her pursuit of happiness as well. As far as I know it's a free country so I can do what I want to do. How can the counselor say that Penelope and I can't read are new Bibles in the lounge. How could she say Bibles weren't even allowed in camp. Those words stung my heart like a big fierce bee. I mean my parents payed good money for me to come hear so shouldn't I have my choice in what I wanted to read. It's not like if I was back home in New York I could walk up to a Muslim Mosque or a Hindu temple and tell them that they couldn't worship their false gods not even if I had rented them the place. That's 'cause they actually got to pursue their happiness! I love tennis camp,but this is just not right. I think I might have an idea though. We are going to have a talent show, so maybe I could make up a song to sing. That would be totally about God, how much I loved Him, and how great he is. I'll get help from Penelope and Lilian (My other room mate who is a Messianic Jew) and if they say yes I'll come up with the lyrics and they can play them to the instruments that they play. That would be great. And if the counselor tried to stop as from singing our song we would give her a long speech about how the Constitution, and the Declaration of Independence clearly states that we are allowed to carry out the religion we choose, we have have free speech, we may pursue our happiness anyway we want, and that it is a FREE country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sincerely aggravated,

Jada P.
