Olivia Leon Attending The Winchendon School was an experience that I will never forget. Having only one year at the school has already taught me so much about what really matters in life and how I can achieve what I want and compete at the best of my ability. l've met some amazing adults and friends that have helped me to be the best person I can and I can't thank them enough. Having the chance to play soccer again was incredible. Hanging up the cleats after 5 years of playing as a child, I was still able to pick them back up 4 years later. This year overall has brought me through ups and downs and has taught me, whether it be dealing with sports or education, anything is possible as long as you work your hardest to achieve it. Chuangwei Li IT As a student, I don't have any great event to talk about, but here I want to share my experience of preparing for college at The Winchendon School. During the first three years of junior high school, we were very happy and free, and I still remember my first American friend, Carlos. He is a very kind and easy going person. We lived in cottage, the best dorm ever. I could feel the house was warm and filled with energy because we were just like brothers taking care of each other and had a great cooperative spirit, such as some school activities and sports, dorm work and making jack-o'- Iantern. Even though we had a few arguments, those events increased our brotherhood. -

Gustave Koumare I made it! The many challenges of high school, feeling like I was never going to finish, the time is finally here. Although the challenges will never end, I've reached a milestone in my life, and I'm happy for what I've accomplished so far. There are many people who have supported me throughout. I would like to think my Godmother and Aunt, Leeza Nasser and Bintou Coumare, for raising me and molding me into the young man I am today. I would also like to thank Mrs.Baldini for giving me the chance to flourish at the Winchendon School even though I struggled my first year. I have learned a lot from the Winchendon teachers and will take these lessons with me into college, helping me with other obstacles I will stumble upon. Once again, thank you to everyone who believed in me. Soo Jung Lee I don't know how I came to the Winchendon School. lVly aunt who lives in New York found the Winchendon School and sent me here in the spring of 2010. There are many international students here so I could make friends from different countries. I felt very friendly with every Winchendon student and faculty membersg especially Ms. Harmsen who was my advisor in junior year. When I saw her anywhere, she was always singing for me like sooooooeywsoo soo soooeyw I always felt thankful to her for giving me energy every single day. I also want to thank my only Korean sister Sumin for make me laugh every day. I will never forget my global Winchendon family. W I .IT

Luan Li I am not an outstanding student of Winchendon, but you are the most respectable school to me in my eyes. On this special day, I extend my heartfelt respects to my school. I love this school. I am Luan Li and I am a senior this year. I will leave this school, but I will miss this school. No formula can be used to calculate your devotion, no poems and songs to express our heartfelt gratitude to the school. It is the Winchendon school that cultivate our minds with school extensive knowledge and school noble spirits. On this special occasion, please accept our best wishes. .4-Us f - A .fi Sicong Li Two years ago, I did not know why I had been sent to this place I did not even know. I did not like it before. Then I realized Winch is like a big family. All of the teachers and students here are family members. They really helped me a lot with study, sport and the most important thing--find myself in this big world. I had the best two years in Winch. It is going to be the best experience in my life. I really appreciate it. lim, Mr'
