THE TRUE MEANING OF BOARDING SCHOOL
YOU ALL KNOW THOSE MOVIES ZOEY 101 (p.c.a), WILD CHILD, YOU KNOW? ALL ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOL? WELL ITS WAY MORE THAN THAT...
MY EXPERIENCES FROM, WELL GRADE 8 TO GRADE 12 HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. THOSE FEW YEARS HAVE MADE ME INDEPENDENT AND HAVE MADE ME FEEL SURROUNDED BY MULTI CULTURAL DOINGS AND MADE ME FIND MYSELF FAR AWAY FROM HOME.
ALTHOUGH IT WAS AN ALL GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL IT GOT ME CLOSER TO GIRLS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF NOT ONLY AUSTRALIA BUT FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. I HAVE CREATED FRIENDSHIPS, DEEPER AND MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT HAVE MADE ME CHANGE OF HOW I LOOKED AT MYSELF AND AT LIFE ITSELF.
OF COURSE THERE IS FREEDOM DON'T YOU WORRY BOARDING SCHOOL IS NOT ALL ABOUT BEING IN PRISON... WELL SOMETIMES.
BUT ITS NOT ALL BAD. WE'VE GOT TO DO LOTS OF THINGS AND I MEAN A LOT.
BOARDING SCHOOL DOES HAVE A LOT OF RULES BUT WHO SAYS RULES CANT BE BROKEN ;_)
I REMEMBER WHEN MY FRIEND REANNA AND I WERE DYING TO HAVE A CIGARETTE AT THE EARLIEST HOUR OF THE MORNING. AND OBVIOUSLY ALL DOORS ARE AUTOMATICALLY SHUT FROM ALL LEVELS OF THE BOARDING HOUSE SO WE DECIDED TO SMOKE IN THE SHOWERS, NO CLOTHES ON. AND TALKING OUR HEARTS OUT ABOUT THE WEEKENDS, IS THE GOWRIE SOCIAL COMING UP? (BROTHER SCHOOL) WHO ARE WE GOING TO HOOK UP WITH, WHAT CLOTHES ARE WE GOING TO WEAR. YOU KNOW GIRL TALK.
OUR ROOMS WERE BESIDE EACH OTHER, ONE TO ANOTHER, SIDE TO SIDE TO WE COULD EASILY JUMP OVER THE WALLS TO WHOEVER ROOM WE PLEASE. ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT AND JUST STAY UP LATE WATCHING ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED MOVIES AND EATING OUR GOD'S GIVEN PRECIOUS SNACKS FROM BI-LO. OTHER WORDS, DORITOS.
WE HAD A LOT OF EVENTS SUCH AS OUR EVERY OWN TRADITIONAL BOARDERS CONCERT. THAT IS WHEN EVERY OF OUR GRADE 12'S GRADUATE, THE FUTURE 12'S HOST THE BOARDERS CONCERT. ALL GRADES COME UP WITH AN ACT, SONG/ PERFORMANCE TO SHOW OUR GOODBYES AND GOOD LUCK TO THE FUTURE. AND TRUST ME ITS ALWAYS AN EMOTIONAL, FUNNIEST AND UNFORGETTABLE TIME. THIS ALSO BRING ALL GRADES, ALL AGE GROUPS CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER AS SISTERS TO GO FORTH IN THE WORLD.
PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS ABOUT BOARDING SCHOOL BUT TO ME REALLY BOARDING SCHOOL WAS FUN, MISCHIEVOUS, REBELLIOUS, MEETING TRUE SISTERS WHICH WERE NOT BLOOD AND FINDING WHO YOU TRULY ARE FAR AWAY FROM HOME.
