This made me grow up. We wore uniforms, it is a little like being more serious, you don’t do silly stuff so as not to offend the uniform"."I learned to meet time schedules, to come to the drills, and since then I am not late, and I even come five minutes beforehand""From my perspective, the order, the times, and the coming on time, I understand this, when it is necessary to speak and when not to speak, to differentiate between recess and lesson, this is the difference"."Wearing a uniform and the entry into the program caused me to be discipline"."I primarily take the discipline, since it is important, discipline, and they instill discipline in us, and we were a problematic class and now when you see this class, there is really a difference, it is another world" |

Support:"There is another body in the school, in this case the military, and it comes and adopts you, in other words, you are not alone, there is a cover of support that other people other than the teachers in the school care about you"."This is a concept that says, look, we give to the child a home and it is a home that hugs and shields.

There is economic support if it is necessary, there is ideological flexibility, we are willing to deal with the difficulties"."My average rose from 70 to 88 because of the commanders and because of the support both in mathematics and in English"."I receive support always from my commander, she helps, if I need help, then I turn to her and immediately she sets with me in that same week"."I always received support from the class commander, he was the best guy we ever met, truly a good guy, and during the studies after two years, he finished his service and then another commander came, and she was also good but there is nobody like the commander"."For instance, if I did not have the scholarship, I could not have done it since my father is also supporting my sisters and my sister is also learning and because of the military I am succeeding in learning and ma doing this and there is here the support of the adopting officer and of the instructor. The officer gives us instructions and explanations and answers questions"."The military setting greatly helped, the scholarships helped financially, I received a full scholarship to Poland, the adopting officer helped, he took us on trips, he explained to us the story, and this helped". |
