Student Council

At the beginning of this school year, I have planned to work as a class representative in ISU Student Council. Firstly, I was elected as 11th grade representative. Therefore, I got into ISU Student Council. It was not the first year for me to attend School government. However this year I had my own personal goals to achieve for my better future. Important of all, I knew that it will look good on my resume to have that I was part of school government. Also I enjoyed being part of an important body of my community. Therefore my goal for attending Student Council for the school year of 2010-2011, I wanted to show everyone what I am capable of doing. Moreover I could be the President of ISU Student Council, so that I can make changes for the well being of all other students at ISU.
I think, I did my job well. I was happy to work with other representatives of different grades and officers of Student Council. I was pleased with organizing events for my peers and it was pleasure to see them enjoy it. By working at ISU Student Council, I did learn a lot too. Sometimes there were issues to cooperate with other peers, therefore I learnt how to pass my ideas without making them angry. I learnt how to work as a team both in terms of a leader and a follower. I gained lots of self confidence due to the accreditation of being part of Student Council. Lastly, I have lots of friends now. I never thought that I would be friends with a third grader. Now, most students at ISU know me or can recognize me. I am truly happy that I have showed service to peers being part of ISU Student Council.
Lately there has been an election of next year's officers. As I have planned I ran for President. I had two opponents, who were both in my class Neil and Enkh-Erdene. I was confident in myself and was fully sure that I will win the election. However the results showed that I was not chosen as the next year's president of ISU Student Council. I was not pleased with the results, however I had learnt something else. I learnt to never underestimate anyone. Although I and everybody else knew that I was the most experienced candidate, I was not fully ready for a speech. My competitor has made an outstanding speech therefore he had won the election. I have not reached my final goal, however I had learnt far more that I thought I would have learnt.

Art Project

This art project was supervised by Ms.Sudra, IB Art Teacher at ISU. I have always had an interest in art. Due to the limited choice of IB classes, I had to choose Economics and avoid taking Art Class. Therefore this project was an opportunity for me to make my spare time enjoyable for me. I planned to make art pieces for the teachers who were teaching at ISU. I have chosen the teachers, who have influenced me the most. I will then give the artworks to them so that they feel how I am thankful to them. I want teachers to know how they are important to many people's lives. Therefore this project lets me to show my appreciation towards the teachers.

The pictures above are the images of my first final piece. The media of this artwork is paper cut. The process went well and it was as I have planned before. My supervisor Ms.Sudra has provided me with the materials required for example, white pencils, paper knife, project and etc.

As I have mentioned before, the first final piece is done. I had planned to make three artworks, however I have just achieved one. I would like to finish the second one as soon as possible because I have to give that artwork to the teacher before she leaves. My time consuming management did become an issue throughout this project, therefore at the moment I am trying to catch up with the planned dates.

Gobi Bear (Group Project)

This Gobi Bear Project was the first group project which I have attended so far. Most of our Mongolian classmates have gathered together for this project to happen. Mr. Ramar (our CAS advisor) and Ms. Silverberg were great support for us in terms of organizing meetings and coming up with ideas. The goal of this project was to make real movements to alert people about the lowering population of Gobi Bears and make steps to save Gobi Bears. I was not fully involved with the planning process. The team leader of this project is Temuulen Hartwig. She had came up with the plan therefore wanted followers, including me, to go along with the plan. However I have never seen the plan so far.

So far we had two meetings. The first meeting took place at the public school we are working with. However I could not attend the meeting due to the emergency meeting of National Honor Society members. I have heard that my team members had fun meeting the other group that we will be working with. For the second meeting, the other team came over to ISU. Around 25 students with their advising teacher came over to have a small trip around ISU campus and also to make posters. As we have planned, I prepared sandwiches for the guests. When they came we tried our best to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I think I did well. I was happy to work with children, who were from different environment. When we were working to make posters alerting people to save Gobi Bears, we got to know each other more.

I am looking forward for the next meeting. However I would like to see the plan as well, so that we (as a group) can settle everything beforehand.

ISU Girls Basketball Team

As a teenage girl, I would like to have a nice fit body. I think I can gain nice fit body by working on my fitness level. From the second quarter of this school year, I decided to attend basketball practices. First of all, I really like playing basketball. From last year's experience, I have learnt that not only playing basketball improves my fitness level, it also makes me happy. I started attending the basketball practices constantly and wanted to into ISU Basketball Team.

I think I have done well. I did show up on every practice. I tried to push my best to the best of my ability to show my coach that I am capable to be part of the team. I also wanted to loose some extra weight.

Apparently, I could not loose weight. Although I was burning lots of calories by running and playing basketball, I also ate a lot. Therefore I could not achieve my goal of loosing weight. However important of all, I was chosen as a team member of ISU BASKETBALL TEAM. I was really happy to play as a part of the team therefore we got to go to Macao due to ACAMIS basketball tournament.

Not only it was fun to play basketball, it was also helpful to me in terms of movement and distraction from constant motionless studying time. I have heard that when one's body is moving their brain is in resting position. After all, I was part of the ISU Basketball team, enjoyed myself and also had breaks between my studying periods. It was one of the most successful achievements I have done so far. (Not to mention that I actually did not play during the ACAMIS tournament in Macao because I got my angle hurt during the second game. )
