Aiglon Journey to Graduation | Series: Life on the Mountain

It's just exciting, it's amazing, it's like nothing else in the world. I'm struggling to describe it really. I wish everyone in the world could experience Eglin College like I've experienced it. We started this week with our last year expedition to participate in a range of exciting I have never been so happy to sleep in a tent alongside my friends and do crazy activities like whitewater rafting which I thought was something absurd and I would never do and ended up having an amazing time. Canyoning was another activity that was a lot of fun because we did a few cliff jumps, the highest one from nine meters. It was also very exciting because we were able to swim across the river through rocks and just through all these different canyons which were beautiful, absolutely beautiful. The bridge swing consisted of students, well we, just jumping off a swing that was quite scary, quite high. All right we're just going Sports day is one of those days where we really see how the whole of Eglin comes together and is one real community with little sub-communities within each boarding house cheering for their own success and their own win but overall the atmosphere and the smiles, the sunshine as we were lucky to receive it was all exhilarating. Today we have the summer ball it's really special because all our families have flown in from all over the world to support us and be here for us. The first week passed I realized how caring and how amazing it is to be around these people and how kind they were to me despite knowing me and just so accepting made it very easy to blend in and fit into the school. I never imagined make some of my best friends for life. I had dreams for both of my boys, dreams for them to start and connect with people from all over the world to lead a global life and I always envisage for my two sons to expose them to that very global world, to understand the differences, to understand the different cultures, the beauty of it and be able to connect with other people on a deeply human level. It's bittersweet to come here this week and to know that this is probably the last time that we'll be here or one of the last times it has become part of our lives. Looking back yeah it's easy to criticize the things that didn't go well but overall it's impossible to walk away without thinking exactly how much I gained here and how much this place has to offer and I guess I'd be totally grateful to my parents and the school and everybody around here for making it what it has been for me. Eglon will always be in my heart and I'll carry it with me so I'm ready.
