So, this year of schooling may be the most difficult and challenging year of schooling thus far in my scholastic career. Most homework, hardest tests, and the longest essays. But you know what the weird part about it is? I absolutely love it. Now, don't get me wrong, I hate how much work I have to do. The thing is, I love the feeling I get from participating in the IB Diploma Programme. For one, I like the feeling that I'm taking the most rigorous courses offered at the high school (much to the dispute of the AP students). Another thing is, I love the feeling of being in a family, a community of students who are going through the same hell I am. Plus, the outcome of this program(me) will be fantastic, getting me into awesome colleges and universities, and even then with extra credits, maybe even skipping freshman year. Whenever I do a lot of work, like write blogs that I procrastinated on for ToK, I just think that after I get through this, the benefits will be fantastic. Just gotta get through Junior and Senior year.
