School
by Caroline Canute
My name is Caroline Canute I came back to school. My goal is to get my grade twelve education. I'm doing great on math and spelling. I want more time on the computer and English. I need to read more books also and understand how to do novels writing down the journals from each chapter. Well it was so difficult for me reading books. Brings back memories when I was at Kuper Island. This one teacher gave me a hard time as some words were hard for me. She would get very angry and say I wasn’t trying hard enough. She embarrassed me in class. I ran away and never came back. I’m so happy to come back to school there’s help when we need it. We all get along here. I want to complete math, computer, read more books understand how to do novels and journals.
It takes time but I'm trying my best.
