For the last month, all of us have been spending more than 10 hours in school. Yes, study is important. But, in the race to the finishing line, did we forget to see the world? Endurance Expedition is a journey. For some of us, it would be a soul-searching mission, a mission to rediscover our inner feelings and thoughts. For me, it is. That’s why I am here.

Feeling so cramped in the four walls, I took a break and walked to the back of the school and sat on the bench at the snow-covered garden. Winter is coming to an end. It’s so peaceful. I looked out and up. The Berlin Fernsehturm (Berlin TV Tower) majestically reaching for the blue, winter sky from where I sat.

A flock of birds on leafless tree, looking at me. Or, I am looking at them. It doesn’t matter who is looking at who. We are looking at the world around us.

Take time, my friends, to see the world. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing now. Stop to smell the world.
