Produktbeschreibung

Harbird: the catch-22, the class of '22, the concatenation of the prestigious Harvard and the flying bird. Students of Sudo High School desperately chase the prestige of Ivy League universities, especially Harvard. This is the story of our intense college admissions journey - where youthful ambitions constantly collide with unwavering determination to choose our own paths. "Veritas Vos Liberabit" - the longstanding motto of Sudo High. But be careful! This does not translate to "Truth will set you free." To ruthless teachers and admission counselors of Sudo High, "Veritas" is simply read as the famous motto of Harvard (i.e. getting into Harvard is what sets you free). They tell you - no, they warn you that caged birds erroneously believe that birds can fly higher without the cage. But the vast blue sky will instead clip your wings, they say, when you cannot handle that limitless freedom. Ah, the irony. Ah, the catch-22 of our ambitions. Yet our young protagonists firmly believe Har-bird is what they will become. They defy the norm by challenging or changing the entrenched admissions system of Sudo High. So, will our young protagonists ultimately prove this motto wrong?
