It was an interesting experience! I apologize in advance for the long reflection below… :joy: :sweat_smile:

Students of a wide range of ages (from about preschool to 12th grade) were going to the school I went to, so a little toddler would most likely be sitting on my lap on the bus or on the other girl who I sat with that was my age, while our backpacks were stored above us on a rack. We were both in 11th grade at that time, so we were 16. A younger girl who sat by me and I would play a game on the ride back to our home, called Antakshari. It involves singing a song and then the next person singing a song that starts with the last letter of the previous song :grin:

The school gave more of a focus on science, so students were pretty much taking either computer science or biology, along with physics, chemistry, math, English, and PT (physical training).
(If I had joined earlier, I would probably also be taking Hindi, which is learned in most of the states, and Kannada, the state language along with a few gen-eds). All the notes in class and labs reports had to be all hand-written, which was a little tough because some teachers had a bit more of a regional accent that I wasn’t familiar with, and one teacher was so hard to hear and spoke so fast- all of us had trouble writing notes for his class :joy:). But one of the plus points of going to the school was that we were never assigned to do any work outside of class, other than writing our lab reports (which includes drawings as well, with labels… there were way too many people who could draw a microscope really well lol). They just expected us to keep revising and reviewing material.

One of the physics teachers (cause we had two for some reason) was pretty nice to me and always was willing to help. And one of the biology teachers- there were two of those too- was also very helpful in trying to help me adjust to the curriculum… which I feel very guilty about now because I came back :sweat_smile:

Students in my grade were also expected to do a project in computer science, biology, and physics. The environment definitely seemed a little more competitive than at my school in the US. This was all new to me at the time, so I was a little overwhelmed… which is probably why I decided to go back to the US. My parents went back to the US after about a month and a half because moving out of the house would take a while and my dad was still working at the time. (I was staying at my uncle’s place while I was going to school).

I’m thankful that my parents gave me the option to go back because I was not doing terribly well mentally and emotionally at the time with all the changes, especially having recently discovered a family secret that had been hidden from me for a while… Everyone was nice to me at school, maybe slightly because I was “the girl from the US,” but I got to make a few good friends that I still keep in touch with. I also learned that I shouldn’t be afraid to try new things and definitely participated in a lot more events at my high school my junior and senior year back in the US :relaxed:

Sorry, you probably weren’t expecting this long reflection :sweat_smile:
I just haven’t really put my thoughts down or thought about the trip in a while…
