Introductions

I love coming back home after trips. To me it happens often, as almost my entire life is on the jump. My name is Natalia- I was born in Moscow, raised in Germany, spent some time in England and ended up studying for the IB in Switzerland.

It’s not hard to guess I’ve cosmopolitan aspirations and that’s what describes me the best. On other things, I might be very opinionated and passionate about different stuff and I like to show this. Some people may say I’m doing my thing.

That’s the part about me. When my CAS coordinator showed me this blog, I was excited. Challenges are also something I love and this is a great challenge. It’s true, being all over the world doing the same things in the IB we barely know how the other students do on other continents or even neighbour countries. I’ve no idea how teenagers do in for example the US or in other places and they barely know about us fellows in Europe. This blog is really a great chance to connect people in a different way then social networks do, as this is should be truly a reflection of our lives no matter where.

As the editor from my school I feel my responsibility to connect as many people as possible to this project and also reach out for new schools and countries, using the connections and friendships one has.

What I expect from this? Get to know new people, develop my writing, create a better idea about the IB and hopefully do something that actually makes our diploma international, breaking the limits of just our school and reaching out for more.

I’m looking forward to the collaborative work with the editors here and hopefully we can create something that is truly worth it.
