This year was a first in many aspects. It was our first year as Middle School students. It was also our first full year as a virtual school. For some of us, it was our first year attending a school in Colombia, or our first year at Gimnasio Femenino. 2020 – 2021 was a year full of challenges that translated into new opportunities. The social distancing and perceived risk of the pandemic taught us to be caring with ourselves, our friends and family; and encouraged us to find new ways of staying close to each other. Facing a new academic program- the MYP- in a virtual environment, was a challenge that we overcame together. We collaborated with our teachers and found new ways to develop innovative learning methods. We discovered new subjects and technologies, as well as new classmates with whom we established close friendships. Despite internet connection difficulties, we created opportunities to stay together. We had the chance to reunite at school, and while some of our classmates were absent, our feeling of belonging to a group grew stronger. This year was unique, as it increased our awareness of the need to protect the wellbeing of others and of ourselves. It increased our hope that during the next years we will be together again.
