And I am belonging to van 6, our van defined as the singers, because we kept on singing until we arrived to the place. We thank to the sponsored of REX BOOK STORE for using their vans in our whole tour and also to our Teachers that always guide us wherever we go. In this Educational Tour, I learned how to budget and spent my money wisely and to socialize with other people in different places.
