Would you like to be a boarder?

Anamika Raj The Millennium School Dubai

“Boarding at a school is something most of us can’t even imagine. But there is a hidden agenda as to why parents send their kids to boarding school. Firstly it exposes you to a host of obstacles, which you have to cross with confidence and courage. Next, it teaches you two important values; sharing and caring, which ultimately moulds you into a better human.”

“I almost joined a boarding school in India, but the hostel looked really dull and there wasn’t many boarders. I would like to board in a school at some point though, because I want to live independently. I think it will help me make more friends, since there may be students of other classes in my room. It will be hard, but a good experience.”

“Reading books like Malory Towers and Harry Potter have painted a picture of prank-filled days and feast-filled nights. Along with this come the responsibilities of getting to your classes on time, doing your homework and most importantly, taking care of yourself. It would definitely be different. One thing is for sure: the experience would be one which no other adventure can give.”

“From my two months of experience staying in a hostel, boarding is a great experience. Getting acclimatised to the new environment is the initial struggle. But once you master a technique, you don’t have to worry anymore. The only hurdle you need to overcome is the emotional and physical symptoms of homesickness. That is something which will gradually fade, and the courage and self-motivation to remain focused is no longer spoon-fed by our parents.”
