Blend Bardhi from Kosovo (Class of 2001)

Before & After

Blend is currently a part-time student studying Public Administration and Policy at one of the Universities in Kosovo. He is also helping his uncle run his business. 

How Southwestern Academy helped him achieve to where he is now:

"Southwestern Academy taught me many things but the most important are work ethic and a strong desire to always grow and grow all ways."

His fondest memory: 

"All of the memories from Southwestern Academy are good memories; but the ones I remember  most vividly  are the hiking trips with Mr.Herbst, Mr.Veronda’s excellently explained US History lessons  and of course  the aroma of food being cooked outside on the big grill."
