“Bueno, la escuela puede parecer aburrida al principio pero después te acostumbras a ella. Si llegas a conocer los maestros pues te ira bien porque ya tienes un lazo y si tratas de sobresalir y si te lo propones lo logras. Si eres inteligente usa tu inteligencia para estudiar y ser alguien en la vida, para eso tenemos a la escuela porque nos enseña a prepararnos para el futuro y triunfar. Aprovecha la escuela lo más que puedas porque en un futuro muy lejano lo necesitaras.”

“The school I’m at right now is a great school because I learn more and get help. The second reason why I go to Homework Club is because I get to do my homework and when I get home I don’t have any homework to do and I get to chill. I thank all the teachers, staff, and substitute teachers for helping me and making me a better student. The thing I like to do the most at school is read, the books are interesting, sad, and good. My favorite classes are Science, History, and Math.”
