My Middle School

When I was 12 years old, I entered middle school, which was located in my hometown.

Since the students came from different villages in the town, I knew none of them.

The school consisted of only a few rows of bungalows. The bungalows in the western part of the campus were our classrooms, while those in the eastern part were our dormitories.

The sports ground of the school was situated outside the campus to the south.

My middle school had no electricity, so we had to use gasoline vapor lamps when studying in the classroom in the early morning or at night.

To operate gasoline vapor lamps, skill was required. Only a few students were capable of lighting the lamps.

Our dormitories were in the northeastern part of the campus and appeared shabby. The rooms where we slept had two large holes in their back walls, but people were oblivious to the danger of the walls. Perhaps at that time, it was a common sight.

The school cafeteria was at the northern end of the campus. The food we ate there was very simple. It was merely steamed buns made of sweet potato flour and salty porridge made of vegetables and sweet potato flour.

I don't think I had warm water to wash my face in the early morning. I just used a brick to break the ice in the river near my campus for washing my face. When I went to my classroom after washing my face on winter mornings, the hair on my forehead always had ice.

I studied in middle school from Monday to Saturday. I could only go home on Sunday. My village was 1.5 kilometers away from my school.

However, despite the very poor living conditions in the school, I studied extremely hard and often ranked among the top three in my school in each academic examination.

Your sentence makes sense, just edited for clarity
