Being in the Enrichment program
During Primary School I was a part of our school's selective enrichment program for capable students. We focused mainly on mathematic problem solving, philosophy and ethics. These lessons carried out in small groups allowed me to develop skills that were otherwise not being specifically targeted by the common curriculum.
Adapting to a new culture

At the end of my first year of writing It was decided that I become Co-editor in Chief of the paper the following year.
