After the whole school year, I was a bit skeptical about the concept of “summer school”- just because I never went to one prior and lacked experience. Since attending YYGS I met incredible like-minded peers and connected on a much more personal surface (since I can relate to their experiences). It was not a school, but a glimpse of the “real” adult life, where experience is so valued. I learned so many skills, one of which is to always engage in lectures, not be afraid of asking seemingly stupid questions, and most valuable- appreciate how far a person can come with the right tools.
