One of the places that I had to leave and I will always remember with a smile is my old school. When I lived in Venezuela I attended Escuela Campo Alegre in Caracas. In my opinion it is the best school the world has ever known simply because of their teachers, students, activites, and infrastructure. It is placed on top, in between and on a mountain whi makes it look even bigger than it already is. The best part about the infrastrucure to me besides the fact hat it had numerous courts, aditoriums ect. is the way that the classes are set. Each grade or section is like a totally diffrent world. Each building came with an auditorium and other rooms like art classes, and courts.
I made many significnant friendships that I am sure that will last forever. I made best friends and met role models. Every da when I was smaler I used to disobey the rules during recess time because otherwise it wasn´t fun. I learned to trust people in order to not get in trouble and to have fun without using technology. Many people always ask me if I do gymnastics or somehing similar because I am capable of doing acrobatics. I used to simply answer that no, I hadnt had any classes but at recess in ECA I always practiced crazy things with my friends.
The teachers are known for their pacience and their determination to help you any time that you have problems. Mr. Dillon the, current high school principal, used to be my language arts teacher when I lived in Venezuela. I rememeber when I was going to move to Brasil he had to help me do my test because I had fractured y right hand. That was a very admirable act that I will always remember because he had infinite pacience.
I did a lot of activities in that school such as drama, swimming, ballet, an others. I liked it the most because it didn´t feel at all like an obligation. It was something that I really wanted to do. My ballet teacher was called Ms.Mariana and ever since I was litte I andmired her lithe movements and undescribable beauty. Every year we had a show and I felt like I learned alot from her..... this oes not only inlclude dance moves.
