It started out at my school, I was in grade 1. I was chosen by my teacher to participate in a cyber-kid club. By that time I wasn’t sure about the club route, for all I know Cyber-kid club sounds kind of fancy and I was chosen to be one of the members, so I couldn’t feel more joy.
Bell rang, my class dismissed, all my classmates were searching for their club teachers for extra-curricular activities that afternoon, including me of course, was the one who was eager to know what was this club all about, with a big bulky bag on my shoulders I climb the stairs to the second floor, our place meeting next to the library.
