Favourite Global Memory:
Spending time with my exchange student Sarah. I really enjoyed going on our trip to Toronto where we visited the Science Centre and the Toronto Zoo. Sarah shared her interest about space with me and I got to see her with the crazy static hair. At the zoo, I got to show her the Canadian animals, and we took so many pictures! It was a really fun day at the beginning of the exchange experience, that brought us closer together.
Unexpected Lessons Learned from Global:
It’s important to push yourself to see other perspectives. Global exposed me to new beliefs and opinions that I had never considered. Through our class debates and lessons, I came to understand the value of conflicting beliefs as it allowed me to broaden my mind. I felt more able to examine issues and subjects dealt with in Global. My interactions with my classmates helped me to understand that disagreeing with a belief doesn’t make it wrong and that in being able to consider other perspectives, it pushes you to become a better person
What Does Global Mean to You?
Global is a learning family. It’s really special to be surrounded by people who share your passion about learning and the world. It’s an incredibly supportive environment where you can be honest and your perspective is valued
Why did you Apply to Global?
Why did you Apply to Global?: I’ve gone to a small school my whole life, so I always felt like there wasn’t room for personal growth. I wanted to “get out there”, meet people, travel, be challenged academically and I thought Global was the perfect opportunity for that.
Describe Global in 3 Words:
Intensive, Exciting, Educational
What did you enjoy most about online school?
Being able to create my own schedule. Not only could I sleep in, but online school also gives the chance to dedicate as much time as I want to my work.

Ignored Potential: Discrimination Against Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities
Currently, we are living in a world where historically marginalized groups are advocating for and reclaiming their rights. However, there is one group that remains neglected and whose potential is ignored: individuals with intellectual disabilities. Until recently the solution to intellectual disability was institutionalization, but this has rendered the issue worse. People with intellectual disabilities face false stereotypes that limit their personal growth and their contribution to the community. Through the case studies from Kazakhstan, India, and South-Africa this Independent Study Unit delves into how people with intellectual disabilities face discrimination. There are many solutions to solve specific problems in each country, however, this issue will not truly be solved until there is a global shift in the perception of disability, where it is viewed not only as a product of a medical condition, but also of societal barriers. When the potential of people with intellectual disabilities is recognized, they contribute meaningfully to their communities and allow for a more inclusive world that benefits everyone.
