Guangzhou Foreign Language School: Student Reflection on IB Challenges, Growth and Success

Описание: Life in the IB Program at Guangzhou Foreign Language School (IBDP) ✨🌍

In this video, hear a heartfelt reflection from one of our IB students who shares the real challenges and rewards of the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP). From academic workload to personal growth, this story highlights how the IB journey shapes not just grades but also character, confidence, and vision.

🎯 The Challenges of IB

📚 The rigorous workload: juggling multiple subjects, assessments, essays, and oral exams.

⏳ Time management: learning how to balance tasks, allocate energy, and stay calm under pressure.

🧠 Academic stretch: from Extended Essays (EE) to Internal Assessments (IA), every subject requires independent thinking and original problem-solving.

🎤 Oral expression: exams in Chinese A, English B, and other subjects strengthen students’ presentation and communication skills.

🌟 The Growth from IB

✔️ Critical Thinking – Building the ability to analyze, hypothesize, and solve problems independently.
✔️ Confidence – Transforming from introverted to expressive, speaking up in class and with peers.
✔️ Leadership – Taking initiative in activities and shaping one’s own academic journey.
✔️ Global Perspective – Becoming more open-minded, resilient, and ready for the international stage.

As the student explains:

“At first, I was anxious, but I discovered that IB is not just tiring—it’s rewarding. It gave me time and opportunities to explore myself, seek answers, and gain confidence.”

💡 Advice for Juniors (10th & 11th Graders)

Stay calm and keep your rhythm, even during busy application seasons.

Don’t compare yourself blindly to others — everyone’s path is unique.

Pursue your true passions instead of titles or prestigious schools.

Be proud of your growth, even when self-doubt arises.

Remember: IB is not just about achieving top scores, but about becoming a better version of yourself.
