🌟 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 Elena, our grad from Indonesia!
Hi everyone!
I’m Elena, an M20 grad from Indonesia. Really grateful to be a part of such an inspiring community and for the the countless wonderful people in it!! I know this year hasn’t been easy for everyone (not that IB was easy in the first place haha) but super proud of everyone for making it thus far! Remember to stay safe, prioritize your health in all aspects, keep a good sleep schedule (as hard as it may sound) and take breaks. Especially since it is already summer break for most of you, remember have a good balance between fun and productivity!
To current students, the pressure may be there to work on your IAs, EE, or even college applications, but let yourself take that well-deserved break to relax and do fun things you like! It can range form staying connected with friends & family, joining a summer program, watching a new K-Drama (Penthouse really does not fall short of drama LOL) or even trying out a paint-by-number kit (just some examples!). Good luck with each of your endeavors and have a great summer everyone! :))
Elena

Sending virtual hugs,
