Early October 2013:  For the past 5 years, I have been doing the IB Middle Years Programme at my middle school and high school. This program is formed around five 'areas of interaction' which include: environments, health and social education, community and service, human ingenuity, and approaches to learning. Throughout the program, I had to study and perform community service to meet the community service requirement. In our final year, we are required to complete a huge personal project on a topic of our choice.
