A former student checks in: My 12-year journey at Vidar School has given me so many gifts that to this day, 12 years after my departure, I still feel like I find an unopened package every now and then. Now, after being set free and on my own two feet - I can really feel how my human values have been strengthened and embraced throughout my personal formation. At school I have always had the freedom to play and be childish and at the same time feel that I have always been heard and stimulated, academically, physically and socially, but to the highest degree also creatively. I always feel that I have had the faith and trust of my teachers that, at my own pace, I should probably become the best version of myself; not assessed based on a good or bad day (read: exams & tests), but with a holistic view of my presence and my human values and based on the idea that I, as an individual, shine most strongly when I allow myself to be me. On an emotional day in 2007, I crossed the chalk line in the school yard for the last time with my class, and I took two things with me in the backpack of life: An empty picture frame and a colorful palette. My picture of life will be colorful, rebellious and calm. It will be turned and turned and turned again. I don't want to let the frame be a limitation of my canvas, but instead see it as an invitation to rediscover the child who draws on the furniture. My picture will change walls from time to time - be seen from new angles and in a different light. I will invite people, animals and nature to draw on my picture and when I come to push too hard I will teach myself to see the hole in the paper as a path of possibilities rather than a mistake that requires new paper. My life picture is mine and will never ever be for sale. Thank you to Vidar School and to all of you who have carried me through. -Jakob Witt, cohort 1995-2007
