"Can you hear me now? I'm standing as close as I can to the router."
Welcome back for Season 3 of That High School Life! Surprisingly (or not surprisingly), we've found ourselves back at online learning after four months of in-person classes.
For Grade 12 students around the world, and the ones at IS Ruhr, some things remain the same: Getting up, doing work, wrapping up the last few months of a K-12 career and thinking of moving on to bigger and better things.
In this episode, I pick up where I left off last season by interviewing a Year 2 International Baccalaureate student about finding motivation to keep going, how he's doing in the midst of writing IAs, and finding himself in a digital classroom once again.
