THIS IS HOME
As you turn the pages of this yearbook, let them serve as a vivid reminder of the
vibrant life we've shared at International House. This place, with its walls
echoing laughter, intense debates, and the whisper of dreams, has been more
than just a residence; it's been a home to a world in miniature. Each of us
arrived from corners far and wide, bringing unique stories and diverse
traditions, yet we found common ground and friendship under one roof.
Here at I-House, we didn't just coexist; we learned the true essence of
community. We celebrated differences and embraced unity, discovering that
despite our diverse backgrounds, we share more similarities than we might
have thought. This house has seen us at our best and our worst, and through it
all, it provided a safe space to grow, challenge ourselves, and transform.
To future residents, know that you are stepping into a legacy of global
citizenship. You will find that I-House is more than just your residence; it is a
crucible for forging lifelong friendships and an incubator for your aspirations.
Embrace every moment, every lesson, and every friendship, for this is not just a
house, but a home—a launching pad for your journey into the world.
May your time here enrich you as it has so many before you, and may you leave
behind memories as vibrant as those that will greet you.
