Thanks in advance for the feedback. I'll be sure to return the favor :)

"You're in the International Bachelorette?" my cousin said, astounded. "What kind of program is THAT?"
Towards the end of last year, I decided to be the IB "poster girl," a name I devised for the few seniors each year that everyone thinks of when they think of IB. To me, they've been role models, exhibiting the qualities of an ideal student: involved almost to a fault, intellectual, and caring for others. I would be remembered by underclassmen as THE IB student of 2011-2012.
Each year, English classes go the Plagiarism Seminar put on by a few IB seniors. By the day before the seminar this year, the presentation was not prepared and no one had any idea what to say. Hesitant to continue, I remembered my goal and jumped in full-force. Not did participating show ideal IB student qualities, but I stepped out of my comfort zone to both learn and teach about something plaguing my school.
IB has made me who IB today. I have grown parallel with what it asks of me and more, learning about myself along the way.
