The school boy is ready to go to school. The legs are on the sidewalk, the backpack is near.

I started my school, when I was six years old. I was walking to school alone because it was near my house. Every day my mother helped me to get ready. Once I woke up before the alarm rang, and I put my clothes on without waking my mom. After I got ready, I took my bag and went to school before my mother woke up. I was so happy and I was thinking to myself that I did it alone, with no help. Therefore, I would grow up very soon and maybe be able to work and be independent or even get married. I thought, “When I have children, I will tell them to do their own things.” As I was thinking, I arrived at school, but it was closed. I knocked on the door many times but no one opened it. There were no sounds coming from inside. I thought that I was late and I missed the class. I was crying while I was walking back home. As soon as I lifted my hand to knock on the door, my mom called me from behind. Yes, my parents were looking for me and were surprised to see me ready for school because it was the weekend, and I made a mistake.
