Do you want a School that is more? A School that supports your own strength and helps you to develop them? Do you want to go to school with people from over 80 countries all around the world? Then maybe UWC would be something for you! Check out this amazing opportunity and apply! https://www.uwc.org/ Or when you are from Germany http://www.uwc.de/ Live on the other side of the world. Together with the world!
I'm already here for 1 week! At the same time it feels like one day and one year! Crazy Time, awesome people!
8 days
In 8 days my coyears and I are catching our flight to Dallas and from there to Albuquerque. In 8 days we will take our first steps on campus, meet all the guys we'll spend the year with. But before there's a lot to do here. Last meetings with my friends, last medical checkups and of course suitcase packing. I guess that will be quite hard because how do you pack your life in a suitcase that can't weight more than 23 kg? So I'm just trying not to get too nervous and enjoy my last days here until my adventure starts!
Going on
It's coming true! My long ongoing dream of travelling the world and meeting people from everywhere! And now, in exactly 65 days I will catch my flight to Albuquerque. Before that I have a lot of stuff to do. Papers to sign and fill in, visa to get, saying goodbye to the life I had for 16 years. But beyond this hectic there is still this dream and hope and happiness about my chance. I know I will be so relived when I finally catch the bus to Montezuma Castle. Until then, I was 4 weeks of school, being of summer holidays and two weeks in Norway ahead. So there's enough to do! I wish you all the best at whatever you are doing at the moment. And if you're thinking about applying to UWC: do so! Even the application process is worth it!
Not the end? A new beginning
Okay so a month ago I was broken and sad about not getting a place at UWC and having to stay here for two more years. And than suddenly everything changed again. In the mail was said I should wait until end of February because they could MAYBE offer me a place then. So I waited with no hope at all. But February passed and so did half of march and I hadn't heard anything from the national committee. On the 16th I thought they would have forgotten me and wanted to write a mail and ask. Good I did not. On Thursday so the 17th when I was just home from school our phone rang. The lady from the national committee was there asking if I could remember my application. Of course I did had no day passed without thinking about the chance I missed. She told me that they could offer me a place at UWC USA! I nearly flipped out but told her I would love to take the place. Over the weekend we filled in the scholarship documents, twice as fast as anyone else because it was so late already. I had nearly no hope of getting a scholarship high enough for our needs but we got it. And now I'm happy to say: let the journey go on. On to UWC USA!
The End
This day is the end of my dream. Today my mail came to tell me they don't have a place for me. So this page is probably dead since now. I'm sorry and wish all of you the very best for all your dreams and goals. It will be amazing! Good luck and be happy! Bya
And now?
My interview weekend is a week ago now. And I'm just left here. I have no idea what to feel. On one hand the weekend was simply amazing! Everyone was so nice and gentel and happy. It was so motivating. But it also was very exciting. I slept just 10 hours in three days because I could decide between sleep or socialising with people I probably will never see again. And, obviously I decided to talk. The result was that I had nearly no voice, was tired as hell but can know remember so many amazing, inspiring and great talks. Thanks to everyone who was there at Bad Homburg last weekend. On the other hand my hopes to get accepted are now like 0. Everyone was so great that I feel so bad even when I know I should not. Furthermore my first interview and the discussion didn't go so well. I now know so many things to say, but it's too late. So I'm waiting again. Waiting for my final result. One week to go. I have the feeling that it doesn't matter so much anymore if I get accepted I just want a real and final message! Of course I would also break down if I'm not in but I already had this great experience at the weekend. So for now i wish all of you applying for any great organisation or job right now all luck in the world and I hope you'll find your way! Bye:)
Who is applying to UWC 2016/2018?
Which is your preferred school? And why?
Hey there! I'm applying, no I already applied. So I'm from Germany and my interview next week is the last step. I prefer Norway, Wales or Canada. I don't exactly know why, probably because of the sea and I like the countries.
I wish all you guys an amazing new year and all luck and happiness in the world for 2016
I don't know!
I don't know which subjects I will take next year as you all. I don't know if I can take part at this camp at the end of the summer holidays. I don't know what I'm doing next autumn. I don't even know if I'm here next summer. It's like this with everything. I don't want to promise anything because I'm not sure if I'm still here next year. But I also don't want to sit around the whole year if I don't get in. I just want to know if I'm in or not. But I have to wait another month. Another month without knowing what the future brings me. So I can just hope to take the right decisions.
Please
More or less a month is left for me to know if I got or not into UWC. What should I do apart from trying to keep my mind busy with Netflix and books? Myself: Stop thinking. Stop. Now. Please.
I feel you... I have nearly the same problem and no idea what to do either... Wish you all luck in the world, so get in!!
Waiting again
I slowly get the feeling that this whole application process just contains waiting. I waited half a year to start to fill in my application. I waited 2,5 month to send my filled in application. Waited one month to hear if I got to the next stage. And now I'm waiting over a month for the interview weekend to take place. After that I'll have to wait at least 3 weeks to get the next message. And if, yes if I get in, I would have to wait half a year to attend to first day at a College. But what to do while this waiting? I don't know. It's better now that I know I can actually to something to get in and not just wait without anything. So wish me luck to survive this long time of waiting...
Chapter 21: Why I Love UWC so much
I feel like I’ve shared so many happenings in my life but I’ve never really mentioned specific reasons why I love studying at a UWC. Admittedly, I have my stack of schoolwork to blame for that (Year One exams are looming in *nervous choking sound*). But to encourage prospective UWC students, especially those from my country, to apply for the next cycle, I think it would be nice if I presented my personal picks of best perks of studying at a UWC. (I asked some of my ‘Friends’ to help with this post.)
✔ I feel more mature and open-minded.
Through TOK and English LangLit, I honestly feel like a changed person. A person who does not cut off the sentences of someone else in the middle of delivering an argument (no matter how strongly she disagrees with them), a person who is not afraid to assess other people’s motives as well as her own, and a person who accepts that it is impossible to learn everything but knows that understanding things that matter makes up for it.
UWC helped me learn how to put myself in other people’s shoes and to look at things holistically instead of being swayed by outward appearances. And of course, it also helped me realize that there are so many things that transcend societal conventions.
✔ I am more honest and more confident about expressing myself.
One thing I will be forever grateful to UWC for is that it directed me to the understanding that expressing my frank sentiments makes me 10000x happier. The way I present myself to others is more genuine, and I am so much better at upholding my convictions. Because really…no matter how hard one tries to impress others, it may not necessarily equate to the amount of respect one will be granted. Besides, isn’t it a little silly when we feel the urge to change ourselves just for other people to like us? ;)
✔ I embrace challenges with more gusto.
One great thought I’ve tried instilling in myself is the importance of valuing self-development. I used to always, always be so scared of making a fool out of myself–and I still get that way sometimes–that I never got the courage to take chances. Now I’ve learned how to laugh my mistakes off, or use them as a driving force, instead of letting them make me feel bad about myself. So far, this has made so much of a difference in my life. I have UWC to thank for that.
✔ It makes me more appreciative of what I have.
It’s not only that I have begun to value my skills and little quirks because of their potential in fomenting remarkable things, nor is it just the “oh, my gosh this is happening” moments that I habitually get here in school. It’s also the distance between me and my family and friends from back home that makes me ache for the flesh-and-bone treasures that I realize I have the pleasure of having,
✔ It helped me realize that successful people are inspirations, not standards or competition.
UWC is a place filled with some of the brightest and most talented students in the whole world. You’d expect me to feel intimidated or frustrated, or heck, even jealous! Admittedly, I’ve felt all those things in the beginning. But as time progresses, I’ve noticed how it’s become so natural for me to champion other people’s triumphs without degrading myself.
And if that self-growth doesn’t sound beautiful to you then I don’t know what will.
Apply to UWC. See for yourself.
Feelings
It makes me so happy, that I am chosen, that I get the chance to go on with my dream. But it also makes me so sad to see those amazing guys, who didn't get in. Whose dreams are destroyed so easily. I'm not sure if any of you are reading this, but I feel you and I hope you'll get very happy very soon, even without the perspective to an UWC!
It's MY way!
You all maybe don't know about this and most of you probably won't understand me. But I've been dreaming about this for a year now. It's maybe a lot different from what you think of me and maybe your way of seeing me now changed. Or maybe you see me with so different eyes than I expected. And maybe you see me there too. And it's no surprise for you that I think so. But no matter what you think. This is my way. The way I want to go and the change I want to be. And this is my dream and my goal. Maybe you will understand me in the future or maybe you won't. But that doesn't matter for me. You have to, because I'm doing this.
Today's the day
This morning I already had the feeling thus day was different. But maybe I just imagine this. But something was different. We had a philosophy exam, which was much better than I expected. At 3 p.m I came home. Totally normal. My sister was there, we talked and I checked my phone. I always check my mail at least once a day since my application was send. And that's the difference to a normal day and tomorrow. Today there was this mail from my national committee. I was soo excited, because I thought cancellation would come by mail. But I opened the mail and was surprised. It was a yes! I could come to the choosing weekend in January!!! The first step was taken! I am a lot closer to UWC than I expected! So first I didn't believed my eyes but it was true! I cried because I was so happy. It was such a great new and a huge relief. Now I only have to wait for January, to meet all the other amazing people and experience the first part of UWC.
