To get there, I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and left the house at 6:30. The distance between my home and the school is about 10 km, but the bus had to pass a series of checkpoints which require a lot of time. My mother always made me breakfast before leaving the house. Even if I was late, she used to put breakfast in a sandwich and tell me "eat it now, the school won't fly if you were late." She would never let me leave without finishing it. My mother believes in the traditions she inherited from her family. She used to chase me in the water when I left the house to go to school. She thought it would help me get home
