In Their Own Words. . .
On the new building: | “I like the new building because it is new and closer to my house. I used to go to a different primary school that was five kilometers away from my house. I used to spend an hour getting to school in the morning, but now I only spend ten minutes.”
|
On school subjects: | “I like mathematics and social science best because it is easy to do the calculations in mathematics and easy to answer the questions in social science. I don’t like applied science because it is hard.”
|
On his free time: | “At home I like to read books and sometimes I come to school to play volleyball.”
|
On his future: | “I have plans to graduate from high school because I think that high school graduates are highly educated. My parents also want me to graduate because they want me to get a good job. I want to be a taxi driver like my father because it is an easy way to earn money.” |
