I Am Studying Now

I attended my first day in school at Balaybalay Learning Center in the U.P. in the Visayas in Iloilo City this morning.

I enjoyed in my first day of school.

Before we entered our classroom, our teacher told us to remove our shoes and socks.

We were asked to put on our socks and shoes before we went home.

While my classmates could not wear their socks and shoes alone, I could.

I have been doing this months ago because I have wanted to do things alone.

I ask help only when I know I cannot do it myself.

There were nine of us in the class, three boys and six girls.

Two of my classmates cried when their parents left them in our classroom. I did not.

I did not quarrel with my classmates. I played with them.

We were taught how to shake hands with my classmates.

My Tito Popoy accompanied me to school. He also accompanied me home after one and a half hour of schooling--actually playing only with my teacher and my classmates.

Tito Popoy is my Uncle, the younger brother of my Mommy.

Tomorrow, I will go to school again.
