Description
I was at St. George's from 2019 to 2024. Five years is long enough that I actually remember showing up in grade eight, nervous, not knowing anyone. The school is in Vancouver's Dunbar neighbourhood. What. . .
Twelve years at St. George's. 2013 to 2025. That's a long time anywhere. I was a day kid. What made it different is they let you lead without a title. I ended up as Prefect. . .
I was a day student. People ask what made it unique. I don't know. It was just school. But fine. The snowboard thing was nice. Most schools don't have a team. We'd go to Cypress. . .
