Essay Contest 2007 Winner
“Anyone can be open-minded when not confronted with difference. Maybe it is only when your perceptions and ideas are challenged, they can evolve and improve.”

AFS is happy to share Vilde’s essay with i-student advisor, an on-line magazine for advisors in international schools around the world. See Vilde’s essay now published in the most recent edition of this e-mag.
