They change too.” Sonia said. “The ‘I’ doesn’t change – it always stays the same.” Caroline said. “Even if you were in the wheelchair the ‘I’ would stay the same?” Fabio asked. “Yes, why not? It is just the body that changed, the ‘I’ stays the same.” Caroline said. “I think the ‘I’ would change, because my feelings, my ap- pearance, my whole life would change – so the ‘I’ would change too.” Amir said. “I don’t agree with you. You are still the same person, even if your feelings and situation are different.” Caroline yelled. “And what would happen if everyone in the world thought you were someone else – would your ‘I’ still be the same?” So- nia asked. “And I wonder why I am me and not another person?” I asked. During the break we went outside to the schoolyard. Sud- denly I saw Robert and Fabio. Robert had Harris´s basketball cap in his hand. “Sorry Harris,” they said. They gave Harris the cap and ran off. After school I walked home and still thought about my baby photograph.
