Right since the day I arrived, life at St. George’s has always been extremely particular and, in many cases, very unpredictable. Seven years have now passed since the day I arrived at St. George’s and from some points of view, it has not changed a lot really. People say that this is one of the best schools here in Rome, and that by going to this school, the students are able to learn a lot from the teachings of the best professors, who come from the most respectable universities. I guess this would be the way most of the people would judge our school, and from certain points of view, I perfectly agree.
I must say that in these seven years, I have spent great part of my life. And I can honestly say that I do not regret to have spent these years here at St. George’s. In these seven years, I spent most of my happy moments, together with my friends and my teachers. On the other hand though, there were also the hard times I had to go through in these early years, which, if I think about, brings me a lot of nostalgia of the years at St. George’s.

I can still remember vagely my first day here at St. George’s. How could I forget such a memorable day? As I entered my classroom for the very first time, everything seemed to be new. I hardly had any idea of where I was, nor did I know anyone on which I could rely. In fact, to be honest, the first days were obviously quite hard. Since the fact I had to transfer from a simple Italian public institute, to the best private international school, gave me a vague sense of unease. Until I was gradually beginning to realise that it was simply the beginning of a new life. A life which would have included many obstacles to go through, and many moments in which I would have had to give the maximum effort. I was aware of all of this. I was aware that if I had to show the world what I could do, and show them all my abilities, I had to first show that I was good enough to go to such a formidable school.

Since that day nothing has changed. Every single day I set foot in my classroom, I can feel the same exact feelings I felt seven years ago and I feel that this remains and will still remain, the best school here in Rome.

This was my lift at St. george’s and I hope that whoever is reading this will have the privilege to experience what I have had the chance to experience in these seven years at St. George’s.
