  18. Past Students Caitlin Johnson, 20 Marion, Iowa “It’s very calm and peaceful here, and although I miss the shopping malls back home, I love looking out of the window and seeing nature surrounding me. I’ll miss the outdoor pursuits as it’s the best thing I could have done. Being on a mountain 200 ft above ground, I realised that I can achieve anything!”
