Today, it almost felt like time had repeated itself, and I found myself in my old ToK class again. It was the heated debates and the feelings of frustration as we tried to make a certain points all over again.

When I initially applied for the IB cohort, the thought of applying ToK to anything again had never even crossed my mind. I have to admit that although the discussions my ToK class had back in high school were sometimes fun, I never really enjoyed the class very much. I don’t think I ever got any answers out of those experiences, just more questions.

However, this new experience may be different; I’ve learned more and experienced more since I was in the IBDP programmed. Something I learned back in ToK was that the more a person learns, the more they realize that there is to learn. I’ve expanded my horizons a bit, and I’m ready to learn more!

Another thing I’ve realized is just how quickly this program is going, and just how intense the workload is going to be. We haven’t even officially started the school year yet, and we already have our first ‘lesson plan’ date set! I can already feel the anxiety and anticipating starting to build. I’ll really need to focus on time management and remain determined for this next year!
