of my SPM (a Malaysian qualification equivalent to “O” Level), I took up A-Levels in Arts as guided by a few career counsellors to be the pathway of being a teacher. Then, I came across a great opportunity to enrol myself into a teacher training programme for a BA (Education) from a UK University where I was assigned as a teacher assistant in International School X, (the said international school and the university are not named for anonymity of the institution, students and staff).

Growing up in Mexico provided me with opportunities to observe socio-economic disparities and income inequalities throughout my childhood. I have observed the unfortunate economic circumstances in which millions of people live, especially those from disadvantaged rural groups. My participation in community service projects has also given me a hands-on approach to witness and experience this unfortunate situation and has been a primary motivating force in my studies. I believe in the possibility of

Throughout this semester in the Introduction to Academic Research course, I learned a great deal about research. We covered a wide variety of topics that encompassed topics such as methods of field research, the unknowns when conducting research (the Black Box activity), the differences that exist among fields when using the word “research”, and many others. I’ll begin with what I learned about myself. Throughout this course, I learned a great deal about my future interests and the characteristics

I knew that due to the excessive amount of work I had to manage my time well between games, practices and study time. By being in the IB program and athlete also expanded my work ethics and has taught me that hard work,effort and dedication pays off in the end.There were plenty of times when I was too tired to do my homework and I had to set time aside to make sure all my work was completed
My generation is the worst that has ever existed. We are the laziest, most ignorant, most spoiled, most naive, most carefree group of people to walk this Earth. Or so I've been told. I see all over the news articles with headlines like "Millennials too lazy to pour cereal into bowl, clean up after themselves.” (I’m not even kidding. Google it.) I see criticism telling me that I’m not as connected to my family as I should be, or that I’m too reliant on fast food and an going to grow up to be obese
As an IB student, it is very important to recognize that the study program is indeed an international program that involves schools all around the world. Therefore, IB is present in a variety of different cultures and countries. As a student in the IB program, I’ve noticed that a lot of study is focused centrally on literature.

Towards the end of the first semester of my senior year, my family and I had to move due to my father’s job. I moved to Indio, CA about an hour from San Jacinto, CA. I knew about the move ever since the summer, so since then I got in contact with the IB coordinator from La Quinta High School. She told me that, of course I could take IB courses
Knowledge is generated through the interaction of critical and creative thinking. As an IB student in high school we are faced with problems that involve us using our minds for critical thinking.

In other regions the selection of courses is vast. However these courses compel us to use critical thinking more
