Trang 11 Read and say what school is for you:
School
School is something,
we must all embrace
Knowledge we need,
to seek out and chase.
Subjects and teaching styles,
are plentiful and vary
Just like the backpacks,
we all need to carry
Sports, clubs, and activities,
at every single turn
So much to do,
study and learn.
