- I'm Neil. I came from the Philippines.
I'm in Year 11 and I am doing the International Baccalaureate Program.
I chose this program because I knew that this was going to help me a lot
when I go to university,
because I plan to study psychology in university
and then follow it up with neuroscience.
To be honest, I really didn't know what the International Baccalaureate was
before I went here. But once I delved into it,
it was such an amazing program to be with.
And I know that the things that I've learned in the Philippines
were greatly incorporated in the program that I have now
and it's stepping it up to the next level.
So the IB program is an intensive program.
It doesn't want you to develop only academically,
it also wants you to develop your creativity, activity and service,
and that's actually one of our subjects.
And this program is teaching us to be globally-aware students
and eventually become globally-aware citizens of the world.
The Filipinos are very intelligent people
and I know that this program is going to help them enhance their knowledges
and it's going to help them in their future plans, as well,
if they actually plan to study at university here.
