I'm a junior and a full IB candidate this year. I have had to overcome many things in life. It's difficult for me to handle the pressure. I pushed myself to achieve my long-term goal. It is hard to do it all by myself. However, I have friends who stand by me, support me, and help in my survival of this journey. Academic subjects are difficult in high school.
