The Third Culture
UWC Syndrome
“You should be so grateful for such an opportunity, you get to attend a UWC school!”
“UWC will be two years of awesomeness and self-discovery.”
“Think of it, no parents or family, in a strange country…girl..you’re going to vibe and have fun.”
A month later, no one told me I would feel like this….no one told me about the UWC SYNDROME!
Sea of Pure Alone and Feelings
We feel love, hate, and enumerated types of emotions, we are surrounded by people but what when we feel distant on a room full of noise and hearts?
UWC, Education and Force
Whether you admit it or not, we’ve all felt (and feel) dumb the moment we walked out of our first class in UWC. And the reason you signed up for all those conferences knowing fully well you have no time is because you want to feel not dumb.
Well so do I, nice to meet you. Do say hi when you see me.
People, Nations, Cultures, and Social Media
“UWC uses education to unite people, nations, and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.”
It’s All Mutual
“A world of responsibility hangs on the shoulders of the youth, the ‘changemakers’, while to old say ‘well, we’ve done our part’”
Departures
“One of you always goes first, but it’s hard being left behind.”
You Can Hit Rock Bottom Twice
Summer of 2014. A younger version of myself who possessed a burning passion towards cricket. A fundamental element of culture, bringing international recognition and national pride to Bangladesh. The people that brought us this recognition were worshipped. Cricketers were idolised.
