Brazil, Grade 11It was a great experience for me because I made new friends and I love the teachers from Pattison School.
When I arrived there, I was a little bit nervous but as soon as I entered the class room, I was treated in an excellent manner and I was friends with all the people.
Thanks Pattison School to give to me a new experience that I will never forget.
