Every child at the center knows that they can’t be accepted for more than 5 years in a row.
It’s to give an opportunity for other children to learn English as well. One day I sat down with
Mona. She asked me why I think that she would accept me again this year. I answered that she
always says that the one who memorises 10 English words every month, she will give him or
her an extra chance to stay longer at the center. From that time on, I memorise more English
words. This way I hope that I won’t need to leave the center. Also I like when she compliments
me on my studies. It encourages me that one day I will be a smart man and will be able to help
my family.
