One day I started a new swimming class
One day I started a new swimming class. I looked at the kids. I did not like seeing that I was the only girl. So I started to pray to God.
After swim lessons my mom and I said we would talk about it. So we did. At home we read from the Bible (Gen. 1:27): "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
My mom and I talked about God and how God created everyone, and how we are all His children no matter what color we are or whether a boy or a girl. The next day I went to swim lessons and had a fun time.
