“It’s been 5 years since I stepped through the warm, welcoming doors of IBA. I never even thought that I would be able to graduate from this school since I really struggled a lot. But those struggles helped me to know my strengths, talents, and capability of doing the best I could in every task given to me. Learning from my mistakes made me a better person. I’ve been through tough times in my life but I can say that IBA provided not only a community, but also a family that helped me to discover the real me.

I was recognized as being one of the students who really excelled in sports. IBA supported me by helping me balance my interest in sports and my approach to academics.”

“When I came here, I had no expectations. I didn’t really expect much from this school. I thought it was just an ordinary school with ordinary people. But it turns out, I was wrong. IBA and all the people here were just the opposite of ordinary. It was unique and full of people who understand me.”

“The last three years of my highschool life has changed me the most, all thanks to IBA. IBA has helped me become a better version of myself and find skills I didn’t know I had. This school has taught me to do things out of my comfort zone, which helped me become more confident and willing to try new things.”

“Every little experience I gained here at IBA has been enriching and will remain within my memories forever. All of the lessons we learned not only from our teachers but from our friends as well and all of the wonderful and terrible experiences we have had throughout high school have led up to this day that we never thought would come so fast. I will miss you all.”

“As I look forward to this day, I couldn’t help but look backward to see how much I have changed. From the Hyon Jil who always wanted to laze around to the Hyon Jil who would want to do something new each day. IBA has helped me change. The school’s competitively friendly environment pushed me to better myself together with all my classmates. Before this, I would always find reasons to be lazy but now I’m always eager to get something done because of the craving to be productive.

“Speaking English used to be a terrifying thing. I had been caught up in doubt and just accepted that I could not do it until I came to IBA. IBA was my first step. At that time, I didn’t know anything. It was my teachers’ and classmates’ enthusiasm and thoughtfulness that helped me adapt quickly and use the English language. I really want to say thank you again for all your help. Although still a work in progress, I can say I am no longer terrified but confident.”

“During my four years in IBA, even though it got tough during the end of the high school, I had fun. There may have been some ups and downs, I can say that it was such a great experience. Thanks for proving to me that high school life is not as scary as it is seen in the movies.”

“It is a big surprise for me to graduate from IBA. I totally did not know how to speak English when I first came here to the Philippines, that I could not even distinguish between small and big letters. I even thought that okra was a green chili before. I was that confused and made lots of mistakes. However, I was helped by my very supportive family, teachers, as well as friends. With their support, I did my best to develop and reach the top. And on my journey to the top, I realized one of the most important things in living life, that no man is an island. I needed help and asked for help. I also needed people to share my success with. I really appreciate everyone in my family and school for helping me grow and achieve my goals.”
