Hey there fellow IB Students!
Yes, as you may know, students around the globe enrolling for the May 2015 examinations are currently having their exams. Quite obvious, isn't it. And for that matter, I wish you all the best of luck, even though you can't really rely on luck in IB, but hey, who knows right. Fortunately for me, however, today is, or actually, was the last of my exams. Chemistry SL Paper 3 that is. And now, I can finally know how it feels to be Dobby when that Potter kid gave him a sock. For whatever purpose I do not wish to know. BUT, nonetheless,
YES. I am finally free. Free from all the IA deadlines, free from the fear of not finishing my EE, free from having to question everything thanks to TOK.
As an IB student, I consider myself lucky. Why?
First:
Out of the six subjects, only one of my IA is being sent as a sample. Economics.
Second:
My TOK presentation was not sampled, which is amazing (considering the fact that I blew my presentation because of my lack of research. The lesson is: don't do your work the night before it's due IB juniors).
Third:
I'm pretty much done with everything now. Looking at my schoolmates, most of them still have exams next week (Geography, Business, Math HL).
So yeah. Just a note for IB Juniors and IB Students to-be, don't pull back from your decision. Don't be scared or intimidated by the heavy load of studies and work demanded by the Swiss. Just don't. Because now that I'm at this ending point, looking back at all the memories throughout the programme, IB is actually doing us a favor.
Staying up late with your mates to finish an work, staying back at school for tutorials or to do work (again), oh and of course, the CAS activities. They're not only unforgettable, they teach us valuable lessons for us that'll make each one of us a better person later on.
So with that being said, I just want to say it again:
Do not, I say, DO NOT, be scared to take the risk. Take IB. Jump off the cliff. Who knows what you'll find at the bottom, eh?
And I guarantee you, when you graduate IB, you'll have all the bragging rights to say that you've survived IB

Oh, and also to those taking the November exams, I wish you all the very best as well.
