4. What made you register on IB Survival?

IB is not just about endless work, in my opinion. When you're in IB, the fellow peers you work with are really close to you, almost like a family. I figured that all IB students, no matter where in the world, are the same way. So I joined to become even part of a bigger family.

It would have to be IB Biology HL. Not an easy class, but the most interesting.

8. What are your plans for university?

Hopefully, i want to go out of state, mabye study Medicine or Computer Engineering. I'm gonna shoot for some Ivy League places (Columbia, Duke), and others as well. If I can't do that, then I'll most likely be oging to an instate college, probably FIU.

9. What are your free-time hobbies?

I love to play guitar, XBOX360, and occasionally play basketball and football.

10. If you could change one thing on IB Survival, what would it be?
