The Grier School

I attended Grier Boarding School in Pennsylvania, USA, starting from 10th grade. I quickly became independent and mature through various new experiences and activities, which broadened my perspective by learning from friends from diverse cultural backgrounds. I currently practice horseback riding twice a week. The second sport I participate in is archery, with the support of coaches who ensure our absolute safety during every practice. Currently, in my junior year of high school, I also actively participate in the school's MUN club and the YMUN event at Yale University as a delegate. My learning journey at Grier has contributed significantly to my personal growth. From an 8th-grade girl who was struggling to find herself, I am now an 11th-grade student open to many exciting things ahead. I hope my experiences will inspire other young people to continue persevering and striving to shape themselves on their study abroad journey.
