Are all IB students super over achievers, or are we just naturally predisposed to lead? The current review of officer positions of various Coral Reef Clubs would suggest the IB students really have quite a monopoly on the handling of activities at school.
Not only do IB students head the Academic Honor Societies (no surprise there) such as Math Honor (Curtis Chan), National Honor (Sandra Valenciano), and Spanish Honor (hey, even I�ve got a leadership position!)� We also have ventured out into the social and cultural scenes with Student Government (Crystal Woodbine, Secretary), FBLA (Christian Barjum, Treasurer- not to mention Vice-President of Spanish Honor and Hispanic Heritage)� and the Hispanic Heritage Club (Susy Bejar). For the community-conscious, there�s the Key Club (Susy Bejar). As for this newspaper you�re reading now, its editor is�Susy Bejar!
Have I mentioned that almost all of these leaders are women? Still not impressed? The entire National Honor Society Executive Board is female�IB female, that is. Not to mention the girl�s water-polo team, which is comprised almost entirely by IB students.
This is not to give the guys a hard time; they�re a minority in IB as it is. Instead, we invite you underclassmen (and women) to feel more comfortable by joining an organization headed by people like you�or, at least, what you will inevitably become by senior year.
After all, Hispanic Heritage Month is in October, and who better than IB students to celebrate culture? Besides, what IB student doesn�t need to finish their C.A.S. hours? The Key club, or any Honor Society, are perfect options for people who want to get some hours in or just feel smart. And what better way to prevent us from becoming totally isolated from the rest of the school (though I can�t help but ask, could we possibly get any more isolated?) than having our own representative in Student Government?
Hats off to you, you crazy achievers, for a job well done.
