"It was always my dream to study abroad. Bodwell High School has made me realise this dream. It has given me an international exposure, an opportunity to meet students from all over the world and make new friends. My presence at Bodwell has also increased my awareness of culture differences as well as my ability to adapt to change. Bodwell has made me realise my full potential, both academically and in sports. It has also increased my confidence and has raised my self-esteem. Teachers and students at Bodwell have a sense of generosity and hospitality. They go out of their way to welcome new students. Moving to Bodwell is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have come a long way for such an achievement." — Elijah Tinashe Jonas, Zimbabwe
