Heading to the school of dreams

WATCHING older students graduate is always inspiring. They are now free to go to university and pursue their own path in life. I always saw my graduation as so far away, something that would take years to happen. I’d never really put that much thought into it since it seemed like it wouldn’t be happening anytime soon. Yet, here I am, a Year 12 student and less than a year away from graduation. When did life start moving so quickly?

The first few months of the IB curriculum weren’t bad at all, but now I’m starting to feel the promised challenge of the program, with assignments to write, piles of information to remember, and numerous CAS reflections to complete. On top of that, there’s also the need for deciding what to study and where to go for university.

Some of the Year 13 students had told me about their goals for the future in the past, but seeing them actually heading toward the school of their dreams encourages me to work hard and do my best during the last and most important year of high school. If they made it through all of this, well, then I can, too.
