FREEDOM

Let’s talk about an important concept. Freedom. Most of the time when I tell people that I live at a boarding school they often ask about the rules and restraints, people often picture how boarding schools used to be or how they’re portrayed in movies. Truth is that when I come home on breaks to my parents house, I really start miss boarding. We have a rule book at boarding, doesn’t mean it’s completely followed by everyone, it’s like at home, your parents tell you a bunch of things you can’t do and that get’s more on my nerves than a rule book laying around with one boarding teacher to check up on you 24/7. I enjoy the freedom, also at boarding I live in town, maybe a small town but it’s something more than at my parents house out in the middle of nowhere and I can’t get anywhere. There’s something about being 5-10 minutes away from the supermarkets and the stores and basically everything, it makes me feel free. I don’t have to get someone to drive me to the gym because the bus doesn’t go anywhere near me. Honestly not having someone to watch over me just feels like freedom to me. Going out at 2 am to the nearest gas station to get burgers with my friends, that is freedom and joy. What is freedom to you?
