High School is hard. We've all been there, done that, but what if we look at from a different perspective. What if instead of taking on unnecessary pressure for university, and grades, we enjoy what is being taught to us, and escape these horrors of high school? Rubab Khan, a 12th grade IB student, tells us her story, and how her outlook on education has shaped her high school life. 
Recorded at TEDxYouth@OFS - September 24th 2018. She is our super active student who keeps herself busy, round the clock. She has done her schooling in Pakistan, France, and Singapore. She has been a regular participant of MUN and has been honored to serve as chair during MUNOFS 2018.

 She plans to pursue her dreams in the field of economics despite having the pressure of becoming an engineer…..”meri laeeq beti bari ho k engineer banay gi”.. I am sure few of her friends will understand that. She loves arts and sometimes builds her pocket money by selling her artwork.

She likes to do gymnastics and running when she is not studying. She feels that she is lucky to have figured out a few basic keys on how to buckle tight during this rollercoaster of a ride called IB. She believes in multiplying positive energies by sharing the best practices. Therefore, she will enlighten other IB students and “to be” IB students about the discoveries of her keys to avoid “The Horrors of High School.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
