His interest does not end with the bell, however, and he is always more than willing to stay extra hours to help those who need his aid.

The Bailey family is very good to me. I have met many friends. I will go to Canada in March. This school is ok. I spent two months in Cali, Colombia. The people are really fantastic, and the food was really good. The country was very pretty. I hope to return to Cali again. If you want to have a nice vacation, go to Cali; it’s really super.
