🌟 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 Christina, a DP2 student from the US!
Hey everyone!
I’m Christina, I’m a DP2 student in the US, and I’m a part of the IBlieve writing team. At this point, a lot of you have either just started school or are about to start. Either way, I hope you’re feeling rested and refreshed from summer break. If you’re just starting the IB program, I wish you good luck. If you’re starting year two, then you’re already halfway through, so hang in there! If you’re a recent IB grad, then congratulations, and I hope you have a great time at your university or job!
No matter where you are in your academic career, please remember to take care of yourself. Go to bed on time, eat well, and drink plenty of water. I know life can get crazy sometimes, but take some time to hang out with your friends or watch your favorite movie. School is important, but so is your happiness! And always remember that the IBlieve community is here for you if you need any help.
You’ve got this!
~ Christina
