Knowledge Bowl was certainly a surprising and amazing experience. Firstly, I didn't expect to go. So when I did find out I was, I became extremely eager and nervous at the same time.

​

When we arrived there, we went straight to the host school (ISC) and we were amazed. It was huge, and featured amazing classrooms, an arena with a gym and a cool middle school playground (although unfortunately we weren’t allowed to play in it). We hung out for a few hours in the library and the high school lounge and then left for our host’s house. The other girls and I stayed at the school director’s house, which was a very nice experience. He and his family were very friendly, and we had our own pool house with a fridge full of sweets and snacks (which was great). The next day, it was time for the competition. Our first game was at the auditorium against the host school. I could tell that my teammates were very nervous, which lead to our team loosing.
