In EvaDay’s words: I love being a student because learning is exciting to me. My teacher explains things in ways that make them easy to understand and helps us see problems from different points of view. I enjoy discovering new things and asking questions. I also love seeing my friends every day. We laugh, learn together, and help each other. School helps me grow, stay active, and become the person I want to be.

I have a lot of thoughts and imagination inside me, and writing helps me express them. It’s fun to create stories and share what’s in my heart and mind with other people.
