| On herself: | I am eleven years old. I have two sisters. I’m the second-born. My younger sister is a second grade student. My father is a farmer, and my mother is a teacher. My mother teaches at another primary school two kilometers away. Our house is 200 meters away from this school.
|
| On the new building:
|
I like the new building very much. I’ve never gone to a school like this before. I didn’t really mind studying in the old building, but the problem was that whenever it rained, the teacher had to cancel the classes.
|
| On her spare time:
|
I help my parents with the housework, and then I do my homework.
|
| In the future:
|
I want to be a teacher. My mother is a teacher and I would like to follow in her footsteps.
|
| If she could do anything:
|
I would work for the government. I want to help the country
|
| What would you do if you were Prime Minister?
|
I would want to help the victims of fires and storms, because those problems happened to my family, and it was only the neighbors who extended to us the hands of help but not the government.
