UWCSEA is full of opportunities for us to learn and explore. Coming from a different country, school, environment… I learned so many new things.
Especially now that I live in a boarding school, I experienced a massive change and I realised that I can live independently.
Earlier when I lived with my family and friends, I always had someone helping me around, cleaning my room, making me food etc… I had never known before this, that I can manage myself without having anyone tell me all the time on what to do.
So, the major thing that, I learned this year is to believe in myself and being independent. I now make my own room, in fact, the houseparents appreciate me for being organised and neat. I also can cook my own little meals sometimes! I pretty much go alone to buy groceries, clothes etc… It is not only the chores which show that I have become more independent it is also, the way I talk to people and deal with situations which shows that I have become more independent.
