I remember my first days at Albert like they were yesterday. I remember walking up the long stairs and down the long hall. I remember meeting my first roommate, Fernando, or ‘Side-show Bob’ as we used to call him. The first year was a year of many firsts for me. I met my first Mexican and Russian students. And who can forget Eman, the first rapping Kenyan! Throughout my years at Albert there have been many friends that have come and gone, like busboys in a restaurant. One of the great privileges of boarding at Albert College is that you get to meet people from all over the world. An extension of that privilege is that you end up making friends from all over the world, friends that will provide a lifetime of great memories and smiles for years to come.
