TRADUCTION (Translation) :
The new school year
In September, school resumes its usual routine. In the playground, the children gather, happy but a little nervous. Their school bags are new, their pencils are sharpened, and their notebooks still smell like the printing press. In the cafeteria, they exchange stories about their summer, sometimes exaggerated, but always entertaining. Little by little, a routine sets in: classes, recess, homework. Yet behind every schedule lies a secret promise: to learn something new every day, and perhaps make a new friend.
