The goal of this group of "United World Colleges" is to create international relations between a huge amount of cultures, and unite all of us through education, which is one of the things I strongly believe in. I've talked to people from the Czech Republic, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Russia, as well as a the americans there. Also, I'm apparently the only Texan they've had in a long time! So naturally the first time I said "Ya'll" to one of my co-years, they about died laughing. However, I did the same when they said "Crumpets"!
"Atlantic College" is one of the premier International Baccalaureate schools in the world, among
the top 5 academically, as well as one of thefounding schools through how IB is SUPPOSED to be; I know at Westwood IB is all academics, but not so at Atlantic; there's tons of services, fun, groups and activities that accomodate to the students, so I promise you I will be busy! That's actually one reason I'm creating this blog, for the matter that I want to keep everyone updated without having to reply individually to a billion messages [I have the most sincere intentions when i say that]. I'll be there for my senior year, as well as another year, and will travel the world during "Project Week", when I would usually have Spring Break. I'm torn between leaving all of you amazing people, but also ecstatic beyond belief, for yall of you know that this is definitely my cup of tea.
Keep checking on this blog for updates!
Relieved/Happy/Excited,

i will never stop looking up to you.
partially because you are taller than me but mainly because i'm beyond proud of you. i will miss you like crazy but i know that wales is probably one of the best things that will happen to you. you have so much potential and you are capable of doing so many things and i know that one day i'll be telling my kids how the richest/smartest/hottest man in the world is none other than my bestie kevin! : ) i know this may be super cheesy and you're just gonna have to deal because i love you more than anything!
i'm soo happy for you and i plan on looking at this blog religiously. hehe. : )
Kevin!
I still can't believe that you are really leaving and moving half way across the world! I am truly going to miss seeing you everyday but I know that this is more than a dream for you. You are, without a doubt, the most self-motivated and driven person that I have ever come to know. Your willpower is incredible and I can only hope to have half as much as you do one day! I am so thankful to have had you as one of my best and most reliable friends and it will take a lot of getting used to with you not here. I am so proud of you and I know that you are going to go above and beyond anyones expectations...just as you do now!
Keep in touch Kev!!
