We are the heroes of our own stories in a journey called life. One of the most important stories in my journey is going away to boarding school in Switzerland. Like a hero, I was "called to adventure" in 2010 when my parents sent me to summer camp in Switzerland. My summer was an extraordinary experience meeting new people from around the world, learning new languages, and participating in all sorts of activities. My "death" took place as I left home for the first time and travelled to a new place independently. When I returned home I felt as if I had "reborn" into a new person. I overcame the obstacles of living in a room with a complete stranger and becoming responsible for my possessions during that summer to discover my desire of going abroad to boarding school. I was willing to ace the quest of being able to study in Switzerland. Since that summer, I began researching about boarding schools in Switzerland and seeking information with relatives. I focused on my academic studies to achieve high grades and increase my possibility of acceptance to my top-choice school. In the fall of 2012 I applied to boarding schools and luckily I got accepted. With hard work, I aced my quest and became a hero in my story.
