Student of the Month

Seunggyeom Kim

When i think of knowledgeable, Rain is the first person that come to mind. He has all the qualities of a knowledgeable learner and it is evident. His knowledge on science and other subjects is very prominent. However it is what Rain does with his knowledge that makes him stand out. He uses his knowledgeable mindset to solve problems and give explanations to issues. This is why Rain should be the learner of the month for knowledgeable.

Bailey Llywd Gough

With the few classes I have with bailey he shows a genuine interest in the topics we talk about and gives many interesting ideas and thoughts to the class discussion. He is a person who definitely thinks and analyzes topics to an extent that gives a different and somewhat better perspective than most.

Megumi Tsuchiya

I think Meg is qualified to be a communicator for the month of November since she displays the character of one. With that, she displays her own confidence into understanding and expressing ideas, not just in one language but in three other. She displays a variety of modes of communication, and that is evidently seen by different students much more her classmates. Furthermore, I think Meg’s greatest factor is that she works effectively and willingly in collaboration with others. She will show no authority into working in collaboration but rather equality. She shows dedication into working with others and openly communicates with them.

Meg fits the communicator profile of the IB curriculum as she is able to speak multiple languages. This gives her an edge in being able to converse with other people. Her bright personality allows her to confidently convey her thoughts while balancing it with her great listening skills. These skills are essential in working collaboratively. Due to having these traits, Meg has been able to effectively participate in various clubs such as GEA wherein she has led various projects.

Meg is the best candidate that suits the IB learner profile of communicator as she never hesitates to express herself with confidence. Nevertheless, she delivers her ideas and thoughts creatively through her ability to speak more than two languages. This enables her to collaborate effectively with other individuals and groups, regardless in school or outside school. She also demonstrates the skills of a great listener as it could be seen in her club participations.

Knowing Megumi, she definitely qualifies for being a communicator. In her school organisations, such as GEA, she is able to confidently express ideas and suggestions that prove beneficial for the task at hand. Language barrier is also not a problem for her, given that she is able to speak more than three languages. Using that to her advantage, Meg is able to communicate herself more to others; This can be seen also during excursions to rural schools, when she serves as a language bridge for local kids to communicate with her non filipino speaking peers. Lastly, though she is often outspoken with her opinions, she is still able to listen to her peers and their criticism, given that the outcome of doing so will reap benefits for them as a whole

Miyeon Kim

Jenny is an open-minded student who is full of curiosity. She is always looking forward to learning about cultures, values, and traditions that other people possess. In her IB classes, she tries to appropriately link cultural and historic knowledge of her beliefs to the lessons. With this kind of relationship that she has with her environment, she is able to develop awareness of the diversity that this world has. Her learning attitude with various points of view makes her an open-minded learner when interacting with the community.

En-Yu Liu

Enyu fits the category of caring because she always offers to help others in need and concerns about others feelings. She is also involved and committed in many service related clubs like Shining Through Service, Students for Students, Ambassadors for Women, and Green Earth Ambassadors.

Enyu is the most respectful student in the senior class. She prioritizes the needs and feelings of others by showing compassion to them by simple things, such as giving food and helping others with school work. In fact, she deeply cares for other people’s success.

Enyu is the epitome of what a caring student is. She never fails to show respect to the feelings of others – making sure that what she does and says always creates a positive impact. Although she can seem quiet and reserved, she unfailingly sees that she is committed to projects that help other people. With this, I think that Enyu fits the “Caring” learner profile.

She depicts the characteristics of a caring person because she is always willing to listen to other people’s problems, concerns, and difficulties. She is willing to take the time to confer and reach out to other people when needed. Most of the time she remains a positive attitude and optimistic mind which also influences the people around her to stay positive.

I believe Enyu deserves this IB Student of the month due to her always being sympathetic, compassionate, and respectful towards her friends and everybody around her.

Enyu is a true and caring friend and school mate who would always be on the look out for your well-being. She’s there for you whenever you need somebody to talk to. She is the most caring person in the school community.

Gabriel Alberto

I think he is a risk-taker because during our TOK classes, he always gives his stance on something no matter what opposing beliefs he may face and he is able to support his statements well.

Ju Yeon Choi

Academics, Extra-curricular activities, sports, relationship, leadership activites, name it and Sally has been excelling or has been an active member of it all. On top it all, her positive outlook in life is contagious. She complains with a smile on her face because she understands that she has to do it anyway and she has to do it really well. She gets stressed just like most if not all of the students because she cares and she always wants to give her best. She expresses her contrary opinions without sounding negative. Her happy personality says it all.

Seungmin Sim

Tom is the ever quiet guy who listens attentively in class. Everything he does is methodical and he does not waste his time. His quiet demeanor does not hide the fact that he has a very deep understanding of things. This was manifested when he talked about “destiny” in one of the Chapel presentations. Destiny as a subject is not something that people think about in such depth as Tom has discussed it when he did the TedTalk last year. It can be sensed that he took a lot of effort and thinking in preparing his talk and he did it with conviction. He does not talk much nor does he question much but he reflectively forms his opinion based on deep understanding of facts and reality.
