I have been in ISSP Toledo since I was 3 and during these past 2 years I've been studying the IB Diploma. Im managed to get into my first choice university which is Twente in Holland to study computer science. My goal is to study in a multinational company like Google. Now I've got my results - I achieved 37 points - I can see that all the hard work paid off and I feel really proud of myself and of my classmates. Not only does this allow me to get into my university, but my results are proof that I can achieve my goals and give me the confidence going forward for my future plans.

Though the Diploma is undoubtedly a challenge and at times it has been stressful, it's been totally worth it. The IB has allowed me to get to know myself better and has helped me develop key skills that I can use at university. 

My name is  Rick (Junlin Lao) and I am from China. As a foreigner I also enjoyed how open and interactive classes in San Patricio are as I could constantly feel a strong sense of community here. I truly loved living in the borading house not only for its comfy atmosphere but also for people coming from different countries which makes school life even more interesting and memorable.

I scored a very good 35 points this July and I'll be pursuing my college degree in Vancouver, Canada and my main areas of interest include business, psychology and sociology, I haven't really decided which one I would major in yet so I will use my first year at college to find out. After taking IB Diploma I feel fully prepared and can't wait to start my college life.
