What's your fondest memory of WAB?
Tough to pick just one but a memorable moment was walking down the High School ramp alongside the graduating class with Forever Young being played in the background. Thinking about it now - that was probably the first time I felt time passing.
Please share a story on how you are still making a difference today.
Walking away from a career in finance to seek meaning and direction was a challenging decision, yet it has paved the way for a journey of growth and self-discovery. Currently, I serve as a volunteer teacher in a remote village in Yunnan Province, where I teach English and Math to Grade 4 and Grade 6 students.
