About

Milena was born in Santo Domingo de los Colorados, but the family moved to Quito shortly afterwards. She is the youngest member of the family. She likes studying and has found it difficult not having face-to-face lessons during the pandemic. She has particularly missed the dance classes and presentations wearing traditional Ecuadorian dress, which the school organised.

Over the last 6 months I've learnt a lot of things. The best for me has been improving in English - we now have interactive classes and it's much easier to learn in this way. Apart from the academic side of things, I've learnt to value my friendships, to know who I am and to believe strongly in what I want to do.
I really like the school where I'm studying. It's sometimes a bit difficult, but I love learning new things. I like the academic subjects, as they are most challenging. I'm very happy that I can keep on studying thanks to The School Fund. Thank you for all your support with my studies and for helping me grow as a person. Thank you, The School Fund!
