The text outlines key characteristics associated with the International Baccalaureate (IB) learner profile. These traits include balanced individuals who manage their academic, physical, intellectual, and emotional well-being.
As said above, I find various methods
to solve problems and I constantly try
to think of new ones. This way I am
able to creatively solve problems.
Problem Solver
One of my strengths is math and whenever
I am solving a math problem, I find different
strategies to solve it (either ones I was taught
in school, at home, or I made by myself). I use
my prior knowledge to help me with solving
problems as well (more helpful in real life
situations).
Critical Thinker
I continuously ponder and think about things.
and when I do so, I do it very systematically,
meaning I think in such a way that I can fully
grasp what I am thinking about. This then
helps me figure out faster what I was trying
to understand.
Caring
Has commitment to their community
and has leadership skills
Makes positive impact on other people
and the environment
Shows empathy, compassion and respect
Open Minded
Willing to grow and look from other
people's perspectives
Open to other peoples' perspectives,
ideas and values
Cherish their history and culture
Principled
Takes responsibility
There are many time when I've had
to take responsibility for what I did.
These times, I have taken responsibility
and made sure not to repeat what I did.
Is honest and fair
I always make sure to be honest
to anyone because I know that
it can lead to worse consequences.
In addition to that, I'm very critical
on fairness and make sure that
whatever I am doing in a group,
everyone has a fair chance.
Has integrity
I keep morals for myself in the short term
and also the long term (being honest - short
term, try not to get addicted to ANYTGHING
- long term)
Balanced
Focuses on academic development
Takes care of personal well-being
Balances physical, intellectual,
and emotional health
Communicators
Collaborative
Use various modes of communication
Creatively and confidently expresses ideas
Risk Taker
Defends their beliefs
Explores new roles, ideas, and strategies
Has courage
Knowledgeable
Well prepared for higher courses
Usually, at home, I study subjects that are for
higher grades. I also make sure to look at and
practice for the curriculum of any upcoming
grade during the summer before.
Knowledgeable in various topics
I have favourite subjects but I make it a goal
for myself to learn at least some basics of all
topics and do it thoroughly. This is because
I know that there are going to be instances
when I'll need one of every or at least most
subjects.
Explore local and global issues
I try to keep on top of local and global news
to know the issues and who its affecting. In some
cases, I even write articles about them. If I
can help with local issues, I always try to (bike
lane on main street, led in water in schools).
I also try to help with global issues (join
protests for social and environmental issues,
Palestine, climate change, etc.)
