Sukhbaatar Erdenebat- School #4, Khentii Province
Бид Америкт ирээд их олон зүйлийг мэдэж, сурч авлаа. Олон сэтгүүл зүйн сургалтад хамрагдаж, мөн 14 хоногыг Америк айлд өнгөрүүлэхэд миний англи хэлний мэдлэгийн түвшин мэдэгдэхүйц дээшилсэн билээ. Би Монголдоо очоод мэдэж сурсан бүхнээ бусаддаа түгээж, үе тэнгийнхэндээ ардчилал гэдэг зүйлийг сайн ойлгуулах нь бидний зорилго юм. Бидэнд ийм сайхан...

Lovely Little Memories( :
Waking up every morning to the sound of Saraa getting ready for her day was a refershing feeling, that she was excited to see and learn something new about the U.S. and about Boston. My mother would then make her breakfast, my sister would sing with her in the car, and I would keep her close as I’d take her to school with me every morning. To go to school without her will be weird for me,...

I have a freedom to speak!
Bulgantamir Enkhtuya- Amgalan School
During my trip in America, I learned one very important thing. It is “We have freedom of speech but it is much more important to know how to use it.” When I face some problems, I used to refuse to tell it and didn’t know what to do because I was scared. But now I understand that I have a freedom to express my thoughts and power to deal with it. Thank you so...
