A challenge in my life

A challange i have encountered that has changed me

I think one of the biggest challenges in my life was to come to Squaw Valley Academy. To go to a boarding school in the USA is a good way to improve my English.

I didn’t want to go to Squaw Valley Academy but now I think it was a good decision. It is really hard because I miss my family and all my friends but now I have to live my own life. I have to do my laundry by myself I have to clean my room and there is no mum or dad who can fix every problem I have.

I studied only a week at SVA but I already changed my attitude to my life and to my future. It is wrong to say I changed my life but now I think about the things I do. I try to be independently and not to need help from my parents. To be here changed my life in this way that now I have a controlled daily running and I have to do something. Not just hang out with friends the whole day and do nothing.

This was the positive side to come here but there are also some negative points. Here I don’t see my friends and my family. I don’t have the freedom to go to the city whenever I want to.

Summarized I think it was a good step and maybe I am a different person when I return to Germany.
