🎯 With August ending soon, and September beginning, this is the perfect opportunity to reflect on how you have or will approach this starting school year. The best way to start is by maintaining good habits; pay attention in class, don’t procrastinate your homework assignments, go to sleep on time, and dedicate some time to activities outside of school.

🌟 IBlieve NEW Team Member Introduction - Ambassadors (pt.2) + Video Team
With the mid-2025 IBlieve applications closed, we are ready to introduce new IBlieve members to you 😊! We’re very excited to welcome all of them, and can’t wait to work together with them to help IB students globally.
🤝 Say hello to our new Ambassadors! Our Ambassadors act as representatives for IBlieve in their school, and work alongside other ambassadors to help grow IBlieve and help create the resources and opportunities we provide.
Hitarth
Hello! My name is Hitarth, I’m from India 🇮🇳, and will finish IB in May 2026. What excites me most about my IBlieve role is the chance to collaborate with a global team and contribute fresh ideas that can genuinely support students in their IB journey. I plan on studying Economics and Finance at university. Outside of academics, I've been playing drums (since 11 years) and basketball. I also enjoy trying out new food!
Joanna
Hi! My name is Joanna and I am from the United States. I will be finishing the IB in the US during the M26 cycle. My favorite aspect of being an ambassador is being able to work as a bridge between local schools and IBelieve to help provide resources to all IB students! I absolutely love theater and work both on and off stage in various acting and production roles. In the future, I plan to study Business after I graduate in the spring. Fun fact about myself is that I LOVE matcha (and make my own homemade syrups for my matcha!)
Alex
Hey! My name is Alex, I’m from the United States specifically Miami, and I’m currently in the IB program! My favorite aspect of being an Ambassador is the creative side, getting to brainstorm, connect, and collaborate with others on new projects and ideas. I plan to study either Advertising/Marketing or Entertainment Law in the future . A fun fact about me is that I’m a huge movie fan and can quote entire scenes from my favorite films.
🎥 Say hello to our new Video Editor! IBlieve’s Youtube Channel will soon be active and posting new content again! Check it out to find various videos on IB Experiences and Exam Tips.
Farah
Hello fellow reader🌹. My name is Farah, I’m from Jordan 🇯🇴 I have recently joined IBlieve as a Video Editor. I am very excited to be part of this beautiful community, with IB students worldwide who share similar journeys as mine! My favorite aspect of being a video editor is combining my passion in montaging with helping students in their academic journeys when they refer to IBlieve. I graduated this year from the May 2025 cohort from British International Academy- Amman. In October, I will be starting a new chapter in my life, where I will be studying dentistry 🦷 in Jordan. Fun fact about me is that I am powered up by coffee☕️, or I’d like to say delightfully caffeinated 😵💫. To every fellow student out there: may your hard work lead you to amazing opportunities!
