Hello, my name is Mohamed Laaribi. I am 46 years old. I am form Algeria, and I

Let me tell you about my fondest memories of my childhood: my primary school days.
Well, I remembered clearly my first day at school. My sister took me to my new school on
foot. I was so excited to know my teacher my and new friends.Mr. Kasmi Abdelkader, my
first teacher, was very kind to us. He taught us reading, writing and he made us love Math.
We were active and we wanted to know everything in the world. Many values we learnt
from Mr.Kasmi such as: patience, self-confidence, respect, perseverance…etc. We really
liked school thanks to him.
I, personally, wanted to be a respectful teacher of Math like him. Fortunately, I could
achieve that dream.

knowledge and experience, and helped us improve our personalities.
