“My actual life began here, where I learned what the real world is.

I have seen all kinds of successes and failures, and I have learned a lot throughout my journey. I enjoyed staying with the teachers and house parents, who have been a crucial part of my happiness. I have also been encouraged to take responsibility and compete for leadership positions. I will never forget that my actual life began here, where I learned what the real world is and how EF Academy has been my backbone throughout my growth.”
