I started this roller coaster by applying to United World Colleges. Then after some highs and lows, I was offered a place at UWCiM (United World College in Mostar) which I took! But it's not that simple. The place was a fee paying place and we don't have the money. However the knights in shinning armour stepped up with their donations, which I am eternally grateful for. But still there is money to raise, so fund raising is under way! And alongside it comes the college itself…

End of Term One
So here we are, almost four months later, and soon I will be heading home. On Wednesday night we had our Winter Gala, a ball/dance or whatever you want to call it. It marked the end of this term and it was so nice to see everyone dressed up and looking beautiful. It was a lovely night with performances from the Ballroom dancers and the school band. But the Gala means that soon it is time to go home, or at least to our other homes.
It still hasn't sunk in that I will be coming back to Britain in just a few short days, I've been gone so long now and it will strange to come back to a place that I left knowing that very little else has changed. But, seriously, I can't wait to get back and see friends and family, to see my pets and go riding again, to visit the places I used to go. At the moment I am in a state of trepidation with the fear of a cancelled flight hanging in the air. Fingers crossed it will be ok.
So term one is over and it has been incredible.The biggest thing in my life so far and I hope its changed me for the better. I have learnt so much and done things I had only dreamed about. It has provided me with so many opportunities. So again, a huge thank you for everyone who has helped me get here and to the people I have found here.
