best qls memory:
My QLS journey began in middle school. My favorite memories are the Washington DC trip and the Iceland trip during the intra-term. These trips beyond the classroom empowered me as a student by building a social community, deepening my understanding of different cultures, and inspiring creative interaction. I will treasure these unique experiences and look forward to continuing them beyond high school.
