It Was... By Elena Rehberg It was the spark of a flame everlasting in the embodiment of passionate individuals. Individuals that were taught how to become a part of more. To work coherently in the face of adversity. We grew and we challenged, our thoughts and our peers. We took the depths of our minds and expanded them. It was a beautiful spark of curiosity, igniting the flame of controversy. We looked beyond what we knew, and focused in on what we didn't. We listened and we were heard. The stress couldn't begin to compare to the smiles and relationships created. It paid off, and provided us a community we couldn't have found elsewhere. Some could say: "It was the best of times; it was the worst of times." And we know this has molded us in a way like no other. After all it was only IB.
