to anyone that may come over this post before making the choice that could mess up your life for good, DO NOT TAKE THE IB...the advantages might lead you to think man.. how can this not be the right choice for my future, and your right, the IB will get you to places at a level better than the AP program, and the A levels. However the requirments that come with it are immense. All im going to do is post the link for you to understand, but words cannot describe how much work i have. i have been sacrificing my weekends for the past month now, and i must say my grades are turning out to be better than ever, however, at the cost of me being constantly unhappy. I know i used to be a guy thats always smiling and making jokes simply to make the people around me smile and feel ebtter. That is gone, by being here and working my ass off. and keep in mind, 2 people have failed from last year's senior class made up of 55 students, because of plagiarism in a useless thing called the extended essay. Not to forget the annoying TOK classes, and the taunting CAS hours.
a list of what i need to complete:
- extended essay, 4000 words, (they cant be BS)
- math portfolio (design a math project 2000 words)
- Business coursework (find a problem in a business and suggest solutions 2000 words)
- college applications (im not gonna start counting)
- TOK essay ( a stupid class u have to take called theory of knowledge 1500 words)
- TOK presentation
- AND all the homework and tests i need to do and study for .. on average
- 1000 words in english lit a week
- 500 in arabic a week
- 1000 in geography a week
- each weekend i have community service for CAS
therefore when i say i miss home, that means i miss having to do nothing :D
