Back to school

by Crystal B.

I am back to school because I want to get my grade 12 to make a better life for my son. I came back to school for my son Cody as well as myself. I want to teach him how to read better and to help him when he goes to school. I want to get a better job when I am done my grade 12 to support Cody and to start a new life. I also came back to meet new people and to see all of the teachers and friends that I met here last year. I am here to learn my Math, Science, English, to write some Poetry and my spelling.

My dream is to become an artist. I love to paint and draw scenery of different places where I have been or would like to go. I love school and that is why I came back. I want to learn new things.
