Writing exercise

I have been at a boarding school since 7 of age, Which is pretty young if you think about it,
the reason I went to boarding school was because my parents were so busy and they thought it would be better for me living in school, but wasn’t really fun actually cause I missed my parents in plenty and some of the kids went home every day but some of the kids went home at weekends, like me! I save more time to studed in boarding school, however, I had less time stayed at home played computer games or went to amusement park when I was children, that was so depressed…
