High School, an unforgettable roller coaster ride.

2006-2011, Five years have now passed since I first stepped through ICSA's doors. ICSA, The International Community School of Abidjan has shaped me into a new person. After completing primary school in the french system, mom and dad decided it was time for me to learn English. When I stepped in ICSA for the first time, I was this shy little girl that didn't know English. Thanks to my ESOL teacher Mr. Koffi Lazare, I had mastered the language three months later. My knowledge of the language opened up new doors for me; I made new friends and began to take part in different school activities.

Used to big schools, ICSA was quite a change for me.Within a few weeks, I had to adapt to ICSA's demands.
From then on, my time at ICSA has been a fantastic ride with ups and downs. Even though we often complain about the size and the small variety of activities that the school offers, ICSA is like a family. Like every family, every student that leaves ICSA leaves a part of his heart behind.
ICSA hasn't only taught me how to wield pen and paper, it has also taught me many things about life. The most important lesson I've learned within my classroom walls is that: Uniqueness is one of life's most important qualities.
I have two more years of high school before I head off to college and I have to admit that I'm kind of scared. I got used to the small size of ICSA and I know how BIG universities are.
