The kids

The kids at the Symbiosis Public School unilaterally agree that Eva is their favorite Carnegie Mellon Student. She receives the most flowers, the most cards, and even the most smiles. Not going to lie, I’m jealous. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like the rest of us are being shunned. We have all been given flowers picked from the school’s garden and origami cards. We all feel very loved.
When Eva and I entered a classroom to do some filming, all of the students stood up at once. They said in unison, “Good morning sir, good morning ma’am.” We have been receiving greetings like this since we arrived at the school two days ago. In fact, we suspect that the students were instructed to be very formal and polite with us. The kids follow the rules explicitly –they are very disciplined. Hopefully we will see the real personalities of some of the kids tomorrow, when we will have time to play some games.
Tomorrow’s going to be a busy day for both us and the students. The students have been planning an assembly for the past couple of days. We have heard them rehearsing it many times over, and will see the real thing tomorrow. Meanwhile, we will be putting together all of our data today, as it is our last day in the school. Eva and I will be interviewing a couple more students –hopefully they won’t be too quiet. We’ll update you on tomorrow’s events as soon as we can!
