"Biology and chemistry are enchanting disciplines that can spark infinite curiosity. Simultaneously, they are subjects accompanied by 'challenges,' requiring resilience and enduring mental and physical tests. The sense of accomplishment from scientific experiments and the thrill of intense dedication sustain my unwavering passion for these subjects.
In the latest 'Resilience' Values Star selection at MIS, Izabela, a Y12 senior student, clinched the title of Monthly Star by demonstrating exceptional resilience in academics and life.
'The relentless pursuit of excellence' is the expectation for every child at MIS, and it truly reflects Izabela's inner truth. In her approach to learning, Izabela is willing to plan and exert effort for her goals, maintaining optimism even when faced with setbacks.
In a potato dehydration experiment, a poorly sealed flask resulted in insufficient gas data collection, causing a deviation in the experiment. Although Izabela's team tried various methods to repair the flask and made every effort to remedy the situation, the experiment, which consumed a significant amount of the team's energy, ultimately ended in failure. The painful setback didn't discourage Izabela; instead, it fueled her greater determination. Over the next week, Izabela's team learned from their mistakes, re-conducted the experiment, and optimized the procedure, ultimately achieving a successful outcome.

She states, 'I believe resilience is about moving forward with vigor regardless of the circumstances, maintaining a vibrant energy. It's about not bowing to any challenge and actively exploring more possibilities.' When discussing her understanding of the term 'resilience,' Izabela radiates a rational brilliance.
At MIS, each student can find a wilderness of their own, where free souls roam like the wind. Izabela is no exception. Though she has only been part of MIS for a few months, she strides with resilience, blossoming with her unique youthful colors.
'I believe the greatest gain at MIS is 'knowledge.' Teachers with rich educational experience earnestly clarify doubts for students. Their profound expertise directly addresses my learning pain points and challenges, greatly benefiting us. I can gradually win honors in increasingly higher-level competitions and shine brightly.' As for future plans, Izabela's vision is becoming clearer. 'I hope, nurtured by MIS, to not only derive a sense of accomplishment in my beloved subjects but also to make the world a better place through my efforts.'"
