In Sudan

by Elizabeth B.

In Sudan we go to school at the age of seven years old. My mother took me to school. I was very happy. Every day my mother brought my lunch to school. For me, school was fun and meeting new friends was exciting. I woke up in the morning looking forward to going to school to meet my friends.
