Do I miss CWA? Yes indeed. I miss this place a lot. Talking about the biggest difference between my current school and CWA, I think it has to be the people. Here in my school everyone is kind of cold, not all of them are willing to welcome or accept new people.

Of course not all of them are like that, some students are being very nice too. But when I came here on the my first week and became the only new student in the class, people around me already had their own little groups. Instead of bringing everyone together they decided it’s better to have small groups, and I disliked this part.。

Back there in CWA, everyone comes together and makes us a big family.

Especially for the girls back in my old class (Nanako, Mizuki and Esther), I treat them as my own sisters. We are so close together and go around the school everyday. It’s different over here, you don’t really get to see the same people for your class. Maybe you have Math with A and Physics with B, so people are not really close like we did.

Yes, the resources over here are great. We have the best technology for class, lab equipment and so on. Teachers have long teaching experience etc. But does it all matter? We have 64 kids just in grade 10, more than 600 kids in the whole school. Teachers can’t take care of every one of us as well as they can back in CWA, and some students felt they have been left out during or after class.

CWA is a small school, it might not have the most fanciest teaching equipment or most experienced teacher. But at least I have a feeling that I’m back home, a place where my families are and where I really belong to.

“我想念玮希吗?”我想是的。我非常想念那里,我认为玮希和我现在就读的学校最大的不同是人的不同。我现在所处的学校每个人都有些冷漠,并不是所有人都愿意接纳新人。

当然有一些同学也很友好。但当我来到这里的第一周,成为班里唯一的新生时,我周围的人已经组成了自己的小团体。不同于所有人聚在一起,他们更倾向于拥有小团体,我并不喜欢。

而在玮希,每个人都在一起,我们是一个大家庭。

 

尤其是我的老同学(Nanako, Mizuki and Esther),我把她们当作我自己的姐妹,我们在学校里是那样的亲密。这里完全不同,你上课时不会一直看到同样的人。也许和A同学一起上数学课,而和B同学一起上物理课,所以没有人像曾经的我们那样亲密无间。

是的,这里的资源非常好。这里有一流的技术和实验室设备等,老师们有丰富的教学经验。但这些真的那么重要吗?十年级有64个学生,整个学校有600多个人,老师不能像在玮希一样,照顾我们每一个人,这会让有些学生觉得上课时或下课后被遗忘了。

玮希是一个规模较小的学校,它可能没有最先进的教学设备或者最有经验的老师,但至少我有一种感觉,我回家了,我的家人在这,我真正属于这。
