I have always been a very curious person and very dedicated to my learning and study processes, and growing up I have always wanted to give the best of myself and push myself as much as possible in every aspect.
Arriving at Futuro Verde at the beginning of the 2017 school year, in ninth grade, my desire to improve was persistent and my goals were firmly fixed in my mind. Each day, the teachers taught me something different that sparked my interest, led me to investigate and enabled me to have enlightening conversations of which I still think fondly of today. Every lesson was transformed into something exciting and interesting. Thanks to the academic programs and the teachers, I had the opportunity to work in an art laboratory, take a classical languages course, be part of a women’s volleyball team and win the school tournament with my class, write essays about topics that I felt passionate about for the first time in my life, experience challenging learning methods and really appreciate the lessons that awaited me on a daily basis.
During this year and a half of study time at Futuro Verde, I have not only met exceptional people with whom I shared new experiences with, yet I also learned to really appreciate the work that each teacher does in order to instruct each student, and the effort they put in so that each lesson is successful. For this reason, I want to thank teachers, classmates and the entire school administration for the wonderful opportunity they have given me in helping me grow, strive and believe in myself. It is thanks to my studies at Futuro Verde that my vision of the world has changed and that my desire to change it continues to increase, but it is especially thanks to this educational center that I have discovered the power of education and teaching.
Futuro Verde, meaning the people that shape it and all my experiences with them, is a second family that I will always take with me, especially now that my new goal at UWC Hong Kong is approaching.
