WHERE COUNTRY AND CITY MEET m The society of youth in our school was somewhat like a scaled-down model of adult society. There are those who achieved and those who did not. There were political minds, intellectual minds, and lazy minds — all types of people with different opinions and ways of life. From kindergarten to twelfth grade, we have dreamed and envisioned ourselves as adults in an adult world. Little did we know that our future would come so fast. In school we were educated, not only by books and teachers, but also by each other and the society created for us here. This began to prepare us for being our part of the adult society.
