ESEM changes people

      Hi guys! Today we will talk about ESEM and how it changes people. I will start with an affirmation “I don’t know the Ana before ESEM anymore” it’s strong, I know, but I’m not the same anymore. I know that people usually change over time, but this school do that in a different way, this school do this faster and more deeply I think.

      When you arrive here, you need to live with two others girls or boys that you don’t know and it’s a challenge, because they are very different from you, they are from others two states and very often from two different regions of the country. Everything is new, and living together sometimes isn’t the easiest thing in the world.

      I’m an only child, so sharing a room with two other girls was very new to me, nothing that I couldn’t do. Because of that, I learned to respect their time, their privacy, things that I had never worried before.

      I had to learn many things to live together, now, I believe my mind is more open to new things and I’m veeeery anxious to meet the students who are coming next year and perhaps see myself, see my old self on them.
