Cote d'Ivoire, and school.

As I said in my previous post, the situation in C.I is not so good and people are leaving. School opened for one week and closed again causing us to work via Engrade. School is almost empty, there are 22 students who physically attend school and 10 others who work online.School is very depressing because all of my friends have left the country but that doesn't stop me from doing my work.

Working online...

This week, we had to work with teachers via engrade. We got work from most teacher and the assignment I liked the most was an engish assignment. We had the write a 5 paragraph essay on nonviolence in Ivory Coast. I liked this assignment because there is a lot to say on the topic.


We also had a math chapter test to take which was pretty easy :)


Working in the classroom vs. working online via engrade
I prefer working in the classroom . In the classroom, the teacher can directly answer to your questions whereas via engrade, you need to wait for an answer which can take a day. Another propblem with working via engrade is if your internet doesn't work.


The only thing I like about working online is that you have a lot of time to finish most of the work.


This link is an article about online college classes. I chose it because I wanted to know whether taking online classes was good especially in college.

School is closed for 2 weeks.

We didn't go to school this week because of the situation of the country (Cote d'Ivoire). Not going to school doesn't affect me particularly. I would be able to rest and enjoy the break if school was closed for happier reasons instead of insecurity. I hope the two political parties find a way to stop all the violence that's going on right now so that everything can go back to normal.
What did I do during the break?
I spend my days doing community service work at church with my mom. There are more than 600 refugees at our church running away from the violence going on in Abobo.  


My mom is the president of the Charity organization at church so she organized everything and I enjoyed helping her.  Working with the refugees at the Church was very hard at first because I'm an emotional person. As the days passed, I got used to it. 

This is a picture of me telling the refugees to make a line if they have children that are 0 to 2 years  old. 

I'm a little scared that school won't open again so my parents and I are looking for other schools just in case. Teachers have been sending us work to do and it has kept me very busy.
