I always like learning about things i´ve heard about before, or in english class when we can have our own
interpretations.

discussions, etc.)
- I´m always willing to have discussions with my peers. I also work quite well with others.

9. Describe a project, assignment, test, presentation, or discussion that demonstrates your potential. Why are you
proud of it? (You can add more than one based on the individual class experiences, for example: In Biology or In
Technology…)

10. How have you overcome an academic or social challenge while at AISJ? (changed schools, self-esteem, academic
performance, family trouble, illness, disability, etc.) respond in detail.

- I take economics HL and in the beginning of the program i wasn´t getting the grades i wanted, so i spoke with
my teacher and they advised that i switch to SL, but i was too passionate about economics, so we came up
with the plan of me making revision sheets for all of the stuff we had done up till then in order to help me
obtain the information and it worked. By the end of the first year my predicted grade in economics was 2
grade levels higher than at the beginning of the year.

Thank you for writing my letter!
