I did not attend an MYP middle school. The only difference I could really discern from my peers who did is that they were more familiar with all the little intricacies of IB — the learner profile, the language, the grading style, etc.

I wish I'd tried out more things. In middle school I wanted to join debate or mock trial or Model UN or any of those types of club, but I didn't when I got to high school because I wasn't very comfortable public speaking and, coming from a non-magnet middle school, it was intimidating to be around people who all knew each other and what they were doing. Instead, I stuck with extracurricular activities where I felt more confident. I also wish I hadn't succumbed to some of the academic pressure — I took AP BC Calculus in junior year and IB HL Math in senior year because that was what was expected of me, even though I struggled a lot and only use math occasionally today. The classes I took in high school had more advanced math than some of my engineering friends took in college.

The Hoover transition happened during my time there. The whole thing was a huge ruckus and people were really, really mad. From a student standpoint, it was definitely a bit frightening that we were suddenly getting new coordinators who weren't as familiar with all of the different processes. Also, one of them was a clown whom the students didn't have much respect for.[/quote]
