In the morning as I wake up the first thing that I do is to brush my teeth and my hair and thereafter to get ready I wear a pair of black trousers, black socks and a pair of black shoes. Also I have to wear a white shirt with a red, black and gold tie. I also have to wear a black cardigan and a black blazer. Whereas in the French schools, you do not have to wear school uniforms at all. It’s fantastic!

The subjects that I am very passionate about are science and I.C.T. as the teachers are very kind and make
