ENGLISH L E V E L 7 TEA C H ER S : RUTH TICKTIN Education BY N at h a ly R a m i re z W hen I was in middle school in my country, I remember days when my dad was always asking me about my grades to be perfect. Every Friday I was so scared because weekly teachers gave parents notes of our scores on the exercises, tests, etc. Most Fridays I got home late so I wouldn’t see my dad’s angry face. I knew my notes wouldnt be a perfect “10” because I knew I wasn’t the best student. Why? Because most of my classes were long and boring so how could I concentrate If I didn’t have time to study? Most of my time I spent doing homework. I was so happy when I finished high school. N ow that I am studying English ]
