The After-Life

WOW, Eton was beyond my expectations. Lets be honest the first few days weren't the best but boy did I fall in love with the place. Everything had a value to it, including the recreation time. Eton taught me how to be organised - fully! I also realised how I can manage a far better lifestyle without computers and other distractions. The lessons learnt will be valued highly in my memories. The experience gathered will aid me in the future. The acquaintances made will be cherished forever.

It has been two days now and the Eton afterlife still hasn't fully sunk in. Who would've thought getting used to a strict regime in 10 days would be so fulfilling. The speech delivered during the final dinner had a lasting effect on me. The final moments when everyone departed were very emotional.

I am uncertain about attending the reunion because of the busy schedule ahead. However one thing is definite; this experience has changed me and I acknowledge we only get these chances once in a lifetime.

Rafsan.
