“From the very beginning, from the time we met the teachers and each other, we started learning. We learned throughout the first weeks and months and through the whole semester. All this learning was a gift for us that was given from all the people that we met during the semester. On top of all of it we especially learned from the animals, mountains, valleys, rivers, and all nature around us. Now the semester is coming to an end and we can start using the learned knowledge in our future and everyday life. Just then, when we start using the new knowledge we complete the semester and can feel the true graduation.”

“The art of ending forms in the challenges that we withstood, and the new limits that we reached. Our success is defined by our accomplishments, thus we walk the final walk, and praise our fortunate adventures.”

“A dream we were, a dream we are. Home we go to the ones who love us and there the world waits, open armed. Asked of our adventures, what do we say, what do I say? Time has closed us, time has wrapped us. Only now our cocoon is broken, and out tumbles our beating hearts.”
-Iyla MacArthur

“Bocas sewed, but minds hover, dive, and jolt. We are not on your level, no not at all. Fifteen brothers and sisters with wild ways. Shared the times. Let loose. Morphed souls. Yet this story cannot be told in tales but has to be lived. And for this thank you. Where are we? This cold foreign land, comforting smells, iced ground welcomes us. No mass. Let’s soar. Loved ones want us back. But we are torn in two. Transition awaits. Let’s embrace the pain and with our experience, wisdom, love, and spirit change. We’ve soaked up the knowledge and it’s up to every one of us not to throw it away. Take it slow, create, observe, give, dance, balance, endure, and sing. Let’s flow.”
-Hakeem Lewis
We are on our way!
