Charlotte Agostinelli Throughout my past four years at Winchendon, I've realized that I've gained a lot more than just a high school education. I've gained a greater sense of who I am, I've gained friendships that will forever rest in my heart, and most importantly, I've gained a broader perspective of the world. There are countless memories, good and bad, that I've made here that will always stay with me as I move on to the next chapter of my life. Winch will always be a part of me. I want to thank those unique teachers who have made it their job to not only push me to be my absolute best, but also to be my friend when I needed one. I want to thank my best friend Jessica for never failing to bring out the crazy in me and for always supporting me, no matter what, I want to thank Ryan for getting me through the hard times here and for believing in me, and lastly, I want to thank my loving parents, who gave me the opportunity to reach my highest capabilities. I love you all so much. Ali Alasadi First of all, I came to The Winchendon School because of the bad situation in my country and l'm in the final year of my education in the high school so I don't want this year to be terrible and not safe for me. Fortunately, I heard about The Winchendon School that provides a multicultural atmosphere in learning and it has a special option to help the students who speak English as second language, Because of that I decided to attend this school, and I really find that what I heard about the school was really true from the first steps to attend to the school- admission procedure- in which the people that work in the admission were really helpful and always contacted with me by e-mail, priority maiI...etc, especially that I've attended the school late, because of that I was worried about If I can get along with the system, cover the classes that I've missed. But, everyone here is really helpful and help me to catch everything and now thank god everything is really a good experience for me to be in this community from different backgrounds for my future. Finally, I promise that I will do my best because I've found the best circumstances to achieve success.

Davis Algra Howdy y'all, two words I cannot stand coming from Texas. To be so far from home and to be so comfortable where I am at. I want to thank my teachers to start with for trying to make me relaxed for being so distant from home. Especially to Mrs. Draugsvold for making me be myself, school would not be the same if she was not my teacher and not to Wuuw. overlook my family to motivate me to not give up. A shout out to my brother Jeff, an inspiration to me no matter where I go I miss you and to one person who I will never forget, Lauren Kelly, who made my first year at the Winchendon school remember able. Thank you! Saad AI-Sabah I've stayed in dorms of camps all around the world, from England to Switzerland to Austria, but I had the best experience of dorm-life here at the Winchendon School. In the summer camps, I used to room with my Arab friends because I didn't want to try to experience living with a foreigner. However, my first year here, I roomed with James Beard, a basketball player from Harlem, New York. I come from Kuwait, a tiny little country in the Middle East, so I don't know how fate brought two people from such different places together. I learned so much about him and where he comes from, and I learned so much about myself as to how I interact with people who are not where I come from, and I did just fine. After this experience, I learned to open up to new adventures and try out things that I never thought I would.
