In Regent's School I took part in a choir. At firts it was boring for me, however as time past I started to love it, becuase that new challenge gave me new skills and that new skills helped to achieve a higher grades in my IB course. It was very interesting to learn how to sing different songs and to be a team member. During the concerts our choir was taking part by offering differentv songs. I took part in different concerts for example:Chritmas Concert , International Day concert , and I was very happy that Regent's School game me an opportunity to be a member of the choir.

There are different skills that this activity hlped me to develop, and I am sure that these skills will help me in my university studies.

The skills that I got:

• To be a risk-taker
• To be a open-minded person
• To be a responsible person and a achievebale person
• To be a teamworker.

I become a risk-taker, becuase to sing in front of public is a difficult chllenge. Before choosing this activity when I was standing in front of public I was getting a nervous. However now after taking part in this activity I am more confident to have a speech in front of public. These helps to not only to become a good public speaker, this helps to take part during the classes more and more. I started to share my ideas with classmates. This skill helped me to take part in different activities, and to be a better person for Regent's School.

To be a open-minded person is a a very good skill and this activity helped to to become a more open-minded person. I started to be more interested in classical music. The activity changed my taste towards the jusic I started to listen more classical music. The classical music is very important because many scientists find out that it helps to concentrate. The classical music has a very big effect on brain.

I become a more responsible and achieveble person. It was very difficult to take part in different activities during the IB course. However by planning a time and being a responsible person I wnet to that activity.

As you know in choir the teamworking is the most important thing. By being a team member that was an vey interesting and that motivates me. Becuase human relations are very important and by being a team member I started to share my ideas with different people, which makes a more friendly person.

I become a better comminicator, which is very important because in the future I want to become a manager, and the communication is a very important in business environment.

Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu

Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu is a self defense system that focuses especially on ground fighting. I like sport very much.

I think that sport is one of the most imporant things in the life . I took part in many school sport activities and one of them is Brasilian Jiu-Jitsu. I took part in this activity two terms.

Business Boffins

Business Boffins was one of the most interesting activities that I chose in Regent's School. At firts I would like to explain why I chose this activity . In the university I am going to study Business Administration or International Business. I thought that this activity will help to increase my knowledge of Business and Management and this activity will give me new skills which I can use in my future life.

It was a very interesting activity during the activity we were discussing the business issues , reading business magazines, and watching movies related to the businesses. During the activity I was participating in all discussions, by offering many ideas, by communicating with all students, and the finally is finding good solutions, and I making good judgments and decisions . This activity helped me to be more succesful in Business and Management. This sctivity helped me to improve my english . I am very happy that Regent's offered me activity like Business Boffins , and I hope that the knowleged that I gained from the activity will help me in the university and in my business career.

The main knowledge that I got from this activity was that I started to understand the importance of ethics and the importance of being a socially responsible firm. This area is ignored by mnay business, which I think is very bad.

This activity helped me to write my extendes essay which related to McDonald's which is the world's largest chain of hamburger fast food restaurants. My extended essay is a business topic. The title of an essay is ‘’ To what extent does McDonald’s Corporation act ethically towards the environment and its stakeholders ‘’. In the real world the ethical strategies and CSR area is ignored by many businesses and the importance of that topic had been discussed in the essay.

This activity helped to become more opended person and to be more critical thinker. Becuase to make a judgements and to be a good decion-maker is very important in the business environment.

Becuase now I am have all characteristics that can describe a person in business environment. I am a hard-working, achievable, responsible, open-minded and risk-taker. The activity helped me to see me an individual with various skills and abilities. It gave me information about my weaknesses and what I need to do to improve those weaknesses. For example before taking part in this activity I wasn't a
