<p>Hey guys! Thank you so much for reading the post and taking your time to respond :)</p>
<p>I’m a girl from Bangladesh who recently came to Li Po Chun United World College with a scholarship. My previous school in my home country, albeit academically strong, had absolutely no extracurriculars. I had tried very hard to open up a debate team, but the staff didn’t agree. The only sport around was basketball and I never found interest in it.</p>
<p>So, after coming to LPCUWC, I found a plethora of opportunities! Everything I’d wanted to do before, such as debate and football, I took up with open arms. However, obviously since I’m mostly an amateur in everything I’ve done, I couldn’t rise to any leadership positions. Also, for the new year I’m torn between keeping all my previous activities to show commitment, and taking up completely new things because I just haven’t had the chance to do so many things before! I really want to take up things like dancing and such; things I was never exposed to in my home country. </p>
<p>I’ve done singing for 5 years before, and I will hopefully open up a beginner’s voice training club and lead it (hopefully) to fill up the gap when it comes to music on my current campus. </p>
<p>I do the International Baccalaureate and currently I’m taking Maths, Physics and Economics HL, and French ab initio, English and Theatre at SL (I’d never done Theatre before either, haha, but I adore the course so far). Currently I’m aiming for a predicted grade of 38 out of 42.</p>
<p>What do you think? Do you think my desire to try out new things after being deprived for so long be appreciated?</p>
<p>Thank you for any feedback that you may be able to provide me :D</p>
