Madi's Senior Project

I just wanted to comment on Madi's Senior Project since it really made me remember when I used to go to school in Mexico. Just like that one girl talked about her experience in a Japanese school I would also like to comment on my own personal experiences that I had in my school in Mexico. The school that I used to attend was called Collegio Bilingue Wilhelm Grimm and it was a little private middle school. I remember how classes started early in the morning, like around 7 and everyone had to be there on time, you couldn't even be a minute late, since if you were you would get sent back home immediately with no excuses. That being said even if you had a test that day, or even if you had finals week there were no exceptions. I remember that one time I was two minutes late and I had an important project to turn in, and since they wouldn't allow me into the school, I sneaked in by jumping over the school's fences (Unlike here in LAHS, the schools over there in Mexico are NOT open campus, they all have fences and are pretty much closed campus). It was a fun experience and fortunately I didn't get caught in the act. Also, whenever you arrive at school there is a person that awaits for you in the gate in order to check if you are wearing the proper attire, like the school uniform for example. Those people were called "perfectos" or perfects in english. Their tasks was to make sure that your uniform was clean, you had the right dressing shoes, the right polo shirt (yes, we had to wear polo's), and that our hair was nice, combed, and short. If the "perfecto" saw a flaw in your uniform, then you would be sent home. School in Mexico wasn't easy and it was really strict. However I loved every single year that I spent over there and if I could, I would gladly relive it over and over again!
