My Experience of Luckley by Henar

Mi experiencia en Luckley House School ha sido la mejor experiencia de mi vida. Cuando entre al colegio solo pensaba quedarme 3 meses, pero al final he acabado quedándome un año, y no quiero irme para nada.

Por un lado, el internado del colegio tiene un ambiente tan familiar que parece como si estuvieses en casa. Los primeros días fueron duros, pero la gente del internado es tan amable y simpática que no me costó mucho adaptarme al gran cambio. Toda la gente me recibió con los brazos abiertos y enseguida conseguí hacer amigas que ahora considero parte de mi familia. Nunca pensé que las chicas con las que he compartido mi tiempo en el internado iban a significar tanto para mí. Son como mi familia y las quiero como si fueran mis hermanas. Además los profesores del internado han sido todos geniales. Me han tratado súper bien y siempre estaban pendientes de que estuviese bien.

Por otro lado toda mi estancia en el colegio ha sido buenísima. Todo el mundo ha sido súper amable y simpático conmigo. Mis compañeros y mis amigos me han tratado siempre súper bien y han estado siempre dispuestos a ayudarme. Además cuando estaba triste o echaba de menos a mi familia, siempre tenía amigas y amigos que me animaban y me hacían sonreir. No voy a olvidar a ninguno de mis amigos.

También, todos los profesores que he tenido se han preocupado por mí en todo momento, y todos me han ayudado siempre que he necesitado ayuda. Por ejemplo, nunca que pensé que fuese a aprender a jugar al Netball o a Rounders, pero gracias a los profesores de deportes he aprendido a jugar lo que ahora son mis deportes favoritos.

De verdad, recomiendo totalmente esta experiencia a todos los estudiantes que vienen de otros países. Muchísimas gracias a Luckley House School por este fantástico año y por toda la ayuda recibida por parte de todos. ¡No os voy a olvidar nunca y prometo visitaros pronto!
