🇦🇺🇭🇰Asia-Pacific University Application Guide for IB Students!🇸🇬 Singapore, Australia, Hong Kong, Philippines, Vietnam, and Pakistan
Monday, Dec 2, 2024
Happy Monday from IBlieve,
We are now in December! This is a month that tends to be marked by two polar (❄️) extremes: a couple of weeks packed with deadlines and exams, followed by a couple of weeks of well-deserved rest and festivities. As an IB student, this time can be especially challenging given the many distinct components of your DP experience - CAS, mocks, and for those of you in DP2, IAs, EE/TOK submissions, and university applications as well. We wanted to emphasize that we at IBlieve are here as your foremost cheerleaders. Hang in there - you are in the home stretch! 🎉
We also wanted to remind you of the importance of taking care of yourself through this busy period. That means prioritizing your physical and mental health! Significant amounts of stress, as we are sure many of you are feeling, can compromise your immune system and make you more prone to illness - something that can be detrimental both to you and your academic performance. A healthy body and mind are imperative toward your success.🌱🧠
While you’re at it, please make sure to take these next couple of weeks day-by-day. It’s so easy to get overwhelmed when you have what seems like a world of projects and priorities to work on, but catastrophizing doesn’t serve anyone well. Try your best to take things one step at a time, and celebrate each little win as best you can. We are so proud of all of you.🏆
Cheering you on always,
Leila and Nour 🇭🇰🇪🇬
Co-Executive Directors of IBlieve
