I did pre-IB and the first year, when I decided that it was too much work for nothing and went to a regular high school and graduated from there. In Finland we have the grades I (failed), A, B, C, M, E and L (the best grade possible). (Google them if you want to know more
). I wrote L in English, E in Swedish (as my mother tongue), M in Finnish, C in Biology and B in Mathematics. All this without any cramming at all, so I'm quite content. After that I studied to become a general nurse and worked as a practical nurse for two years and now I'm studying to become a pharmacist and I work at a drug store as a technician.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
