What classes are you taking this term? Any favorites? Any other thoughts on your classes/classmates/ teachers?

I take IB History HL, IB Art HL, IB Math HL, economics, and IB English HL. My favorite classes are math and English. My classmates are very supportive and we are all encouraged to share our opinions on various topics.

In addition to class time, what else do you do during the day? Lunch, athletics, practicing an instrument, club participation? When do classes end and when do the other activities start?

Classes end around 3pm for me, and I usually have riding half an hour after my academic classes. After that I have Math Club in the library with my friends.

What is your favorite part of the day and why? What is your least favorite part of the day and why?

Lunch is my favorite part of the day because it gives me a break from academics to socialize with my friends and recharge. My least favorite part of the day is walking back from the barn to my dorm room because it’s freezing!

How do you end your day? A fair amount of homework? time with family and or friends? Volunteering? Working? Relaxing?

I end my day by reviewing for the next day’s test because I memorize things best before bed. We usually have a fair amount of homework — but procrastination could build the amount of work up without me noticing.

Who or what is the best part of your day? The worst? My friend, Natalia, is the best part of my day because she always makes me smile so much. I really appreciate the people I meet at Stoneleigh-Burnham. Everyone has super nice personalities and they can teach you so much because we all come from different backgrounds.

Do you have a favorite day of the week, a highlight of each week?

My favorite day of the week is Friday evening when we have weekend activities to end the week with a fun note. I enjoy going out for dinner with my friends.
