The school itself is really small so there is a scene of the community. so I enjoy coming to school. The class isn't a pact and we get a lot of one on one with the teachers.

It was great being with classmates and I really liked playing volleyball, but as the years passed, the quality of the school went really down, we never went on field trips anymore, and I felt like I was in a class all day with no activities really. I thank God for having food, but I got food poisoning/sickness from one of the food vendors before. since I graduated I hope and pray the quality of the school has increased.
