My reaction to “And Then I Went to School”…

I enjoyed this story mostly because I can relate to it. I don’t relate to it in the sense that I had to fit in to a community with a different language, but because of the fact that I went through many different high schools. Each time I transferred to a different school, I would compare it to the last and find that I missed a lot about the old one: the people, the classes, and the system altogether. Every time that I started at a new school, until I became accustomed, I was disappointed because I would compare it to the last and would only see the negative aspects of the new one. I liked the way the story used vivid details to compare his experience in school and his life at home. It lets us get a feel of just how much he missed his home.
