As we are coming to a close on this India trip, for the 7th formers amongst the boys, we are looking forward to the new life uni with both anticipation and nervousness. It seems for us India couldn't have come at a more perfect time. This next year will be a big transition for us in our lives and what better way to begin it then with being questioned not only on our fundamental ways of living back home in Auckland but also on what the future will hold in terms of goals/ambitions for our careers and jobs. Although Skeen has drilled into us throughout this trip that the purpose wasn't to get us abandoning tertiary education and heading back to India to spend the rest of our lives working for NGOs, we will still surely take many of the sights, friendships and experiences from these past 26 days with us as we step out of Auckland Grammar School and traverse the big world. Whether we realise it or not we will undoubtedly be changed in our approach or response to many things we will face from here on out and hopefully for the better. It's not to say 5th and 6th formers have missed out on that aspect of the trip as I'm sure they will be able to take back the same experiences from India and be changed both around Grammar and their home, however I know for me personally and having spoken with the 7th formers, we feel this fresh perspective couldn't have come at a more perfect time, with its ability to affect us all the more with the change coming to our lives over this next year. See you all in 70 hours :)
