I had a great experience at Willowdale High School. I gained many skills that I am sure I will use and develop in University and throughout my life. One of the important skills that I have gained at Willowdale High School is collaboration and teamwork. I enjoyed working on projects and assignments with peers and in groups assigned by teachers. I particularly learned from peers through brainstorming, exchanging ideas, and most importantly, respecting all opinions. In my previous educational system, I rarely had this chance of engaging in conversations and creating a product with a group and presenting it in front of a class. It was exciting that each group member had a role to play based on their talents and interests. Lastly, I want to thank my teachers for they were always friendly, enthusiastic and responsive whenever I needed their help.
I feel very lucky that I chose to study at Willowdale High School. What I love about the school is that teachers and staff genuinely cared about me and my well-being. I am grateful that they believed in my abilities and talents and helped me rebuild my confidence. I am excited that I accepted an offer to continue my studies at Parsons School of Design and I cannot wait for the coming adventures and all the opportunities to be creative in New York.
