My Hair is Green, By Coral Ann Eriksen, 4th Grade

In the summer my hair turns green. When I have summer parties we go in the pool and my hair turns green. Some people ask me why is your hair green? I hate it. So all I say is none of your business. Also I walk away.

But then some people ask how it happened? I say it’s the chlorine. Some people ask if I dyed my hair? Then I say NO! It gets really annoying. I’m fine with it because it looks cool.

What I really love to do anyway is to roller skate. I’m really good at it. It takes a lot of practice but I can jump on the roller skates and can do the CHA-CHA slide on them too!

Now this is what really makes me me!
