Today i would like to memorize my boarding school experience. For a high school student, boarding requirment was quite normal in my hometown at that time. One reason was that school is not located in the center of city, it would be cost time if we commuted everyday. The other is we had moring and evening classes, the study time of a day from 7 or 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock at night, especially when we upgraded to the third year of high school.

In terms of life and relationship,  there is more complicated than unboarding school, because school is like a small size of society. When you spend much time with someone, you may become best friends or worst schoolmates, then the relationships with.others are difficult to deal with.
