From Public to Private

In the Marshall Islands, parents are working hard to earn money so they can send their children to a better school. Some parents have financial problems and cannot send their children to private schools. The private schools are more advanced than public schools. In public schools there are many teachers who are not qualified and are less experienced. I remember when I was in fifth grade my dad made me transfer to a private school where I had to work much harder. The school curriculum there was so different from my old school. I had to learn more from more experienced and qualified teachers.  I can still remember my first day of school. I was so scared, shy and nervous. But I realized that I would have to face those students and get rid of my shyness. Fitting into a new school with new faces was very hard for me. I had to leave my friends at my old school and make new friends at my new school. As days went by, I decided to hangout with two of the girls in my class and we became best friends. Every recess we would wait for each other and go buy snacks at the cafeteria, even at lunch time. We would sit at the same table and chat while we are eating. They were like sisters to me when I got to know them better. But as we went up to high school we became closer to each other that we shared each other's secrets.
