My uncle Juan Just imagine going to school for five hours, than coming back and do chores and eat, then you have to go to school again for 7 hours, and still have to walk home, and get home by 11:30 at night and still have to do the homework and sleep for 6 or 7 hours, and have to do all this for every single year.
