Growing up, I moved around a lot, which meant I attended several different schools throughout my youth. While this constant change had its challenges, it also gave me a unique opportunity to experience a variety of environments and meet people from different walks of life. I learned to adapt quickly, forming connections with new classmates even if they were often short-lived.
One of the unexpected benefits of moving was the chance to attend a few schools as part of specialized programs. These programs offered me the opportunity to dive into a broader range of subjects and explore areas of study that might not have been available elsewhere. From advanced courses to hands-on learning experiences, these programs played a pivotal role in shaping my intellectual curiosity and broadening my perspectives.
In many ways, my school years were a blend of fleeting friendships and enriched learning experiences, and the knowledge I gained during this time continues to influence who I am today.
We are all but recent leaves on the same old tree of life and if this life has adapted itself to new functions and conditions, it uses the same old basic principles over and over again. There is no real difference between the grass and the man who mows it. ~Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
