A Perfect Place

Being a senior is one of the best experiences I’ve had at George School thus far. I get up every morning to wash my face and brush my teeth. When I walk into the rest room I see all of my friends, those who are morning birds and those who

Diving and Learning in Bonaire

In Bonaire, it was really amazing to think about how everyone else is living their lives on land, while the fish and the corals are living separately in a different world underwater.
