🌟 Student Spotlight
We’re inviting new High School Ambassadors or IB graduates to write messages every week, so we can hear more student voices and IB experiences around the world. Today, we’ll hear from Eda, an IB grad, tutor and mentor here at IBlieve!
Hi everyone!
I’m Eda, an IB grad from Turkey. Let me say how much I admire each member of this community! All of you amazing people are not only undertaking such a challenging academic program, but you are also compassionate enough to support others through this crazy process. I’m blown away by your hard work and creativity every day!
Congrats to all M21 students! You’ve made it to the end of a difficult yet rewarding journey and you deserve all the praise for it. To others who may be wondering when they’ll finally see that day: I believe in you! Make sure you take care of yourself until you get there.I’m not great at motivational stuff so I’ll leave you with an inspirational quote from one of my fav fictional characters instead.
“Sometimes, clouds have two sides, a dark and light, and a silver lining in between. It’s like a silver sandwich! So, when life seems hard, take a bite out of the silver sandwich!”Best wishes!
Eda
👋 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🇨🇦
