Focus Week

Focus Week

The most important focus week for me is the environment one, as it is the focus week that connects to an issue that I pursue outside of school. I feel that the issues that we focused on were too narrowly defined, on how we as a community can affect our impact on the environment. I feel that what UWC has been teaching us in the past (and what I feel we should be focusing on) is more on a wide…

Middle School to High School

The best bit of the transition between middle and high school is the freedom you get to manage your time and you can really consolidate what subject you like. The biggest challenge for me was probably when I cut my Achilles’ tendon and had to use crutches: getting down to DT in the rain- not nice at all.
