Summer That Stuck

Summer with Dragons was easily the best summer I have ever had. Travelling so far from home was completely new to me, but the people around me made it feel like I belonged from the very beginning.

Looking back, the experience was truly life-changing. It taught me to appreciate the small moments – watching sunsets with friends, sharing meals, and enjoying simple experiences that somehow meant the most. It reminded me that the little things are often what stay with you.

The programme also connected closely with my future goal of studying medicine. I had the chance to explore a project focused on alternative medicine, which opened my eyes to new perspectives on health and care. One of the best parts was that no matter your interests, there is an ISP tailored to you, giving everyone the chance to explore what they’re passionate about and grow from it.

For me, Dragons was about personal growth – stepping outside my comfort zone, broadening my horizons, and seeing the world differently. I didn’t expect to change as much as I did, but I left more confident, open-minded, and curious than when I arrived.

What truly made it unforgettable was the incredible group of students and instructors who supported and inspired me throughout. It wasn’t just a summer programme – it was an experience that will stay with me for life.
