Middle School Student Life

I FEEL SUPPORTED

The teachers help me grow at St. Paul a lot. Sometimes the work is really hard and I get stressed, but then I could just go and talk to any teachers and they could sit there with me for an hour and talk about my feelings. I feel supported.

I love the facilities, the teachers, and the students here. We have a huge soccer field. I’ve been running around this soccer field since I was three and a half. Now, it’s a really big part of me.

I remember my first grade teacher always saying to me that before I came to her class, I didn’t know any English. And then after I finished first grade, I spoke too much. I’ve improved my English a lot.
