to do the IB diploma?

Q: What skills do you think the IB program has taught you that can help you later in life?
A: I think main skill IB has taught me is how t be balanced, specifically how to improve my time management, IB comes with a lot of work, and if you figure out a system that works for you, then you are able to maintain good grades as well as engage in a lot of after-school activities/clubs.Oh, and that can help me through college as well as when I am working through finding a job because I want to be a doctor which takes a lot of time and work as well.

Q: Where do you see yourself in ten years?
A: In ten years, I see myself in residency, I will likely be finishing up my general residency and going into specialized, I want to be a forensic pathologist so that is the direction I would be heading in.

Q: What advice do you have for future IB candidates?
A: Some future advice I have for IB Candidates is that yes, it is hard, but you learn a lot, and with the right amount of work and balance you can sail through everything. Just because I am an IB Candidate, does not mean I have missed out on any school events too, I go to football games, I participate in sports, and I have a lot of free time on the weekend so I would recommend it.
