Saint Augustine's school was the first school founded by the Congregatio Immaculati
Cordie Mariae sisters, a missionary group, in 1910. The preservation of the
school is very important because without it, my jolly elementary school
memories and the symbol of the CICM sisters’ success are lost. This school with
big acacia trees scattered around, Spanish style architecture buildings,
students dressed in white and navy blue colored uniforms, and a church in the
middle of the of the campus matters to me because it is the place where my
beliefs and values were shaped.

I liked how you showed cultural significance and history, but also shared your childhood connection to the place. The imagery of the school was great as well.
ReplyDeleteWhen talking about the school, you could have made it more personal. For example, saying you walked to the school with the big acacia trees in your school outfit.
I came here, I "saw" what you were talking about, and now I have to conquer my fear of saying something that could of been better. Well, as a matter of fact, everything was fine. Great job.
