Otter

This a river otter. There are many of them around here. I saw one the other day in the parking lot by the pool. It slithered away. They kind of scare me when they're on ground.

Welcome!

My time at Pearson has now come to an end, but it was truly a wonderful, eye-opening journey. I strongly recommend a United World College education if you are looking for something that is transformative, challenging, encourages you to overcome your comfort zone, and to learn in ways you never thought possible. If you know someone who is 16-19 years old and has a genuine enthusiasm for UWC ideals please apply! Many countries have scholarships or partial scholarships available.

May you be blessed, happy, free, and peaceful.

"Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality. "
