The School I Never Wanted To Go To

The school I never wanted to go to, with the class where I was a number alphabetically. And the boys are all before the girls on the list. I was number 18 in class 5 and 6 (In The Netherland it was group 7 & 8). Everybody had to work together on the same assignment at the same time, all 36 and there was homework I never had before.

I Had To Recite Poems

I had to recite poems and change the way I learned to write and had knitting and crochet instead of making sculptures and paintings. What a change comming from a very small school in The Netherlands with the same amount of pupils over the whole school as the class on Curaçao had.
