Embracing the world after lockdown: A year that felt like a dream

After the pandemic lockdown when the world reopened, I felt like I must take advantage of the opportunity to see the world. I studied my senior year of high school at a boarding school in middle of rural Pennsylvania in the United States. It was challenging for my language skills to keep up at first, but I did not give up! I jump straight into it - for example I joined the orchestra and played for the first time with other musicians communicating in English while completely lacking the needed vocabulary. Nonetheless, in the end the most important things are the friendships I made with other students. These people made this year tangible, because if it was not for them (and the photos) I would not have believed it happened and it was not just a dream.
