Real Stories from Real Students:
What is your dream for your future, and how has this school helped you achieve it? My dream is that I want to be a game or game character designer or the drawing game character on the laptop. This school has year-long computer programming courses, and an app design class during the January Term. This helped me learn about creating programs for computers. What is your favorite class or teacher and why? My favorite class so far is World Music. I love playing the guitar and ukulele. In this class, I also learned how to play some other instruments. This class is really relaxing. Thre is less stress and homework. Also, this class gave me a chance to perform in several school concerts. My favorite teacher is Mr. Davis. He is also my dorm parent and my hockey coach. He is really nice to me. What is your favorite activity on campus and why - could be sport, art, club, etc. My favorite activity is ice hockey. I started playing hockey when I got here. It's a really tough but interesting sport. There is some risk, but I don't care at all. It's so fun. Tell us about living in the dorms and with other students. How has that helped you adjust socially and culturally into the USA? Living in the dorm is comfortable. Lyndon offers us everything that we need in the dorm for our daily life. Students who live in the dorm are nice to each other. I can hang out with students from a different country every day. I learned a lot about the other culture and made a lot of friends. What do you like best overall about this school? Is there anything here you could never experience in your home country? My favorite part about Lyndon is the environment around this school. It's a town and it makes me feel relaxed. There is no worry to rush every day. Also, the teachers here are so nice. They all treat me like their friends. It’s totally different from Chinese high schools. Back in China, I could never have a lot of free time to try different kinds of new activities and meet people from different countries.
