Dear diary:

Even though it's hard for me to write in a formal English, as I've never had anyone who taught me how to read and write, I learned by my own, from some old law books. This is for the simple fact that I'm a black women, and here in Maycomb we don't receive the same treat as our white folks. Even though we black people don't receive the same education as white people, I still consider we aren't less than them, and that's the main reason that makes me write this diary in "their" English as I don't feel less than anyone. But I'm glad that the family I'm working for treats me as any other person. Atticus Finch is a really respetable man, and he transmits his way of seeing things to his two children, Jem and Scout. In some way I also try to transmit values to them as I feel that they also need to have in their lives a kind of "mother" figure, as unfortunately theirs died four years ago.  Sir Atticus gives me the possibility of teaching them some manners, specially to Scout, a young lovely girl that is still very innocent in some aspects, so I try to teach her some things although she usually starts fighting with me as she thinks she's always right, normal things for her age.
