Hello. This last term has been quite difficult. We had to do a lot of special activities, and then catch up on normal classes at the last moment. On the other hand, I finished the term with good marks. I try hard with each project, so I can reach the level the teachers think I should.
In my school we've been doing extra things such as planting trees in green spaces and participating in a competition about how to stop bullying. We had a university fair, too where I learnt about interesting courses.
We've also been taking part in the tests for INEVAL [a national system of tests to assess learning and teaching standards in Ecuador].
Little by little I'm preparing for the next stage of my life.
Thank you for helping make all this possible.

Hello and thank you! In September I started my last year at high school. I'm still considering what to do next. There are lots of interesting courses but I want to choose the right one. Thank you very much for your donations which have allowed me to get this far.
