Describe something you learned in high school.

View all responses

I can do anything! Nothing is more complex than surviving an all-girls Catholic high school where nuns try to break you down and mold you into a perfect persona. If I managed to get through that rigorous, heartbreaking, and anxiety-inducing environment, then nothing else could be more complicated. I gained an immense amount of trauma, but my ethical abilities and capacity to survive are also incredibly high. So, I guess it’s all about balance.

As for the materials and topics we covered, I don’t remember any specific lessons. However, I did learn a lot, as we were required to understand various cultures around the world, engage in critical thinking, become great hostesses, and hold worldly conversations on different topics.
