Answer

I enjoy being alone and at peace with myself. When I get up in the morning, I go to the garden in my house and sit there relaxing listening to some soothing music on my mobile phone.  As I walk to school, I enjoy the beautiful scenery all around and can hear the birds chirping on the trees. The morning breeze gives me a sense of refreshing mind to go to school and study.  In the evening when it is nearing night time , I look at the stars in the sky and marvel at God’s creation.

Yes, the notes on the wall helped me to understand my friends better after I read what they wrote
