A student鈥檚 reflection on the IB program in SSIS
Print Edition
SSIS offers IBDP courses for G11-12 students. I just shared my reflections on the IB program.
We filed in not fully knowing what to expect. A few might break into a confident smile and answer with all the certainty one is capable of mustering. A handful might frown in thought. And the rest of us might dredge up a blank look. Yet we were all in the same boat — our perceptions of the IBDP program were hazy and vague.
As Mr Gurkan, our IBDP coordinator, launched into his talk, the room was filled with only the sound of his voice. Each sentence seemed to send a new jolt of both excitement and fear through our veins. As he switched to the slide with every IBDP course listed, whispers and murmurs began to build. I felt my friend squeezing my hand tightly. It was as if Mr Gurkan was reading out winning lottery numbers.
Booklets were handed out and Mr Donagher, HOD of Senior Counselor, stepped up. Everything in the booklet seemed to be written in an ancient language that only he could transcribe. By the end of his talk, however, the booklet made a lot more sense.
Walking out of the room felt like a fog had been lifted. The future still wasn’t crystal clear to most of us, but somehow it seemed a little less scary and a lot more exciting.
We realized then that it wasn’t something to shrink away and hide from, but rather something to grab with both hands and take control of.
