<p>Who put the boarding school idea in my mind?
-My sister.</p>

<p>My dad put the idea of boarding school in my mind when I was seven, and he handed me an Exeter pamphlet. (Ironic thing is, I’m not applying there hehehe)</p>

4

<p>My close friend’s sister was attending one, and when she started to look into applying, I did too. I had always wanted to move back to the USA for high school, and boarding school was just another cooler option for doing that. :)</p>

5

<p>The Catcher in the Rye :slight_smile: I have to admit, I’m sort of in love with Holden.</p>

6

<p>Harry Potter (I’m not joking)</p>

7

<p>My mom went to this parent’s meeting and they convinced her.</p>

8

<p>My summer camp friends attended B.S.</p>

9

<p>They told me how amazing and stressing and challenging it was, so I thought about it and told my parents when I came back home. The app process has been difficult, but it’s all worth it… even if I don’t get in.</p>

10

<p>Well, my cousins were applying, Harry Potter, I read a few books involving boarding school, and I wanted to move back to New England.</p>

11

<p>Zoe 101 put the idea into my head at like age 5 but i thought that there wasn’t really such a thing as boarding school. When my cousins started going i ws begging my parents from age 10</p>

12

<p>I attend a British school and hate the curriculum and i didn’t want to continue with it so i decided on boarding school.</p>

13

<p>i attend a british school too and it is annoying, luckily my math teacher thinks it is too, hes canadian, so we do other stuff</p>

<p>One of my friends left for boarding school in England, and when I checked out the website, I was like, WOW THIS IS COOL. I’ve always wanted to go to a boarding school, subconsciously, so I decided to try and apply :)</p>
