My name is Amy and I'm from Grade 9. After two years of online learning, I feel so thrilled and excited to be back on campus - but also really nervous. However, I adjusted better than I thought I would thanks to my peers, my friends, and the welcoming teachers. But out of everything, the thing that I've enjoyed the most are the after-school club activities where I get to pursue my interest and volunteer to make a positive impact on my environment. This school year is going to be eventful, and I look forward to it" AmyGrade-9 No.25(B), 52nd St, Between 33rd and 34th St, Chan Aye Tharzan Township, Mandalay.
