Up Until Now

Last fall I started to apply to a school Juniors and Seniors called United World College. There are about 12 UWC campus' all over the world. Each campus has around 200 students from all over the world who live together, study together and learn from each other about different cultures and counties. The school year is very similar the the schedule here, and the students return home for summer break and Christmas break.
In February I heard I got accepted for an interview. After the interview I waited in suspense to find out if I get in or not until April 20th. I was sitting on my couch watching weeds home sick when I checked my email. I knew when I saw and e-mail from 'The Admissions Office' that I was about to find out more or less how I would spend the next two years of my life. My hand shaking, I opened the message and read that no I was not accepted, nor was I rejected. I was on the waiting list... more waiting.
I was in May I got another e-mail telling me I was accepted to UWC-Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was so excited I got in, but I knew very little about the place... I still don't know all that much though I have done some research.
So now I'm in, and I am trying to find out as much as I can Bosnia and Herzegovina. I'm thinking a lot about what defines me as a American and an Alaskan and thinking about what I can bring to the school to share about myself, my home and my country.
