Our Side of the Mountain
I would like to say that going back to school for me has been great. I look forward to going every day. I learned so much since I went back. My reading and my writing, math and spelling have improved so much. It is so much better than being home in the house with nothing to do. I would say to anyone who would like to go back to school, just go! You will like it. Give it some time and when you see that you’re learning, you will want to be there. So do it today. Do not let time slip away, for all you have is today. When that job comes up, you may have earned your GED or your grade twelve. I was fifty-three when I went back. I have found that you’re never too old to learn. All my life I wanted to go back to school and one day I was walking through North Sydney and I saw a sign in a window about upgrading. So I phoned and went to see them and then I started and I feel good now that I have.
