As I open the soft, yellow curtains and walk into my room, the strong scent of sweaty clothes and stale food overwhelm me. There are filthy sports clothes piled up in the corner. Dirty socks, muddy cleats and wrinkled blazers are strewn across the floor. Leftover chips, half-emptied coke cans and empty candy packs lie on top of one of the desks.

Short-20 minutes TV shows and funny “Honest Trailers” videos brought me inner peace whenever I felt stressed. Galym helped me in Transitional English and in return, I assisted him in Geometry.
