Kim Lensen

I grew up in the Netherlands, and finished high school at the UWC in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Attending a UWC is the best thing that happened to me yet, as it opened up a completely new world for me. It gave me the opportunity to experience the beauty of this diverse world. I learned to appreciate and love this diverse world. I changed in ways I never imagined were possible, and it allowed me to be fully prepared for studying international relations and political science in the US. This gave me the skills to combine loving diversity with truly understanding the sociopolitical aspects of the world we all live in. This has made me enthusiastic to learn more, and it drives me on a daily basis. I love to travel, read, cook, and am always up for an adventure; I love my family and friends, and I hope to share this love for the world with others. Lastly, some clichés I truly believe in: do onto others as you would have them do onto you, one must never go a day without laughing, and be the change you wish to see in this world.
