Genesis School for Special Education

When I was younger, I went to a school where I had a great time because I made a lot of good friends there. But when I transferred to another school, I had to change because the students didn’t want me to be their friend and they didn’t like me. In October 2000, I joined Genesis School. At the start I was not happy, I just came from an unpleasant place and didn’t want to have friends because they might not like me. After a while, I began to have new friends and became my happy old self back. I have been working at Marks and Spencer for some time now. I replace and rearrange food items on the shelves. The job has made me more self-confident and independent because I receive a salary meet new people and travel around through the MRT, buses and taxis.

Genesis School is a very unusual place. This is because we have fun, games and also we learn. The people are the best. The teachers teach you well and they care for you. I don’t feel frightened in school. Yet I learn a lot.

I like Genesis School. I have been here since I was 13 years old. I’m happy here because in Genesis School, it has taught me many values. I learned to communicate better and to be well-behaved and independent. I love my teacher who has been very patient with me. He has helped me to improve myself as a person to what I am today. I learned from him to bemore responsible and disciplined. In Genesis, I learned to make friends. Darren is one of my friends. Genesis is important to me. It is like my second home where I learned how to play hard and work hard. It is also the place where I’ll be working hard for my N levels. I will be striving my best to excel in Genesis School and distinguish myself as a role model for others.

My name is Yapet, but I like to be called Leo, and I have been in Genesis School about 6 months. I used to misbehave in my previous school. I get a lot of detention for my behaviour and I am always late for the lesson. I used to used to be angry person and kept to myself a lot. I was bullied several times, and they called me a werido. Ever since I came to Genesis School. The teachers have been helping me to deal with my behaviour problem. They have been assisting me to develop my creativity. They have helping me to make good choices and help me to be more focus. I confidence in Genesis School to make me a better person in future.
