💬 Global Virtual Summit
We are so excited to announce we will be hosting our monthly Global Virtual Summit this Saturday. Are you currently in the process of writing your IA? Or maybe you are curious about how on earth do you write a Subject IA, without a lab? Well, you’re in the right place, because this event will cover IB Tips for exactly that!
In this month's virtual GVS, we’re featuring an Internal Assessment Overview, Q+A, and Live Chats w/ Grads. You will have the opportunity to learn about how to write a top-grade IA from graduates who’ve gone through this process and succeeded! You have the opportunity to ALSO get direct advice from them through our exclusive subject-specific live chats with IB graduates. Can't wait to see you there!

🌟 Student Spotlight:
As you may know, we’re changing things up by inviting new High School Ambassadors (HSAs) or IB graduates to write messages every week, so we can hear more student voices and IB experiences around the world. Today, we’ll start with a Student Spotlight on Yeyo, our social media (TikTok) lead!
Hello Friends!!
I’m Yeyo, an IB grad from Ghana and one of two Social Media Leads for the IBlieve Team! You can usually catch me making TikTok videos or tutoring, and I’m loving every second of it! :)
I know the school term is underway for many of you and you may feel overwhelmed with so many tests, due dates and extra-curricular activities, but I just want to let you know that we are proud of you for coming this far! It’s certainly not easy, but you’ve made it, and you (hopefully) only have a couple more weeks to go!
As an IB student, I struggled with organization and planning (it seems more complicated to actually put in action, haha). It may be challenging, but once you organize your time and deadlines in a manner that works for you, most things will fall in place. Trust me, you’ll get the hang of it!
Before I end this, I’d like to leave you with a quote from Benjamin Franklin. For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned! Just keep this in mind whenever you’re finding it hard to focus and plan!!
You’ve got this,
Yeyo
👋 Catch you next week!
Thanks so much for reading this week! We believe in you.
Sending virtual hugs,
Celine
High School Ambassador (HSA) from Canada🇨🇦
